0 Pantera_Neagra Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Still no solution. Dear sir don't try to fool us with some sweet words. I tried to call sony romania, and they answered me they know about the problem and they don't care. If you are so kind just give us the key combination for the service menu... (for example hold, 5x back 5x play 5x option will put your device in demo mode, so ... it must still be a combination for service menu).

0 sfbp Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I did it on the 754. Why don't you follow those instructions, first? You don't explain where it goes wrong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pantera_Neagra Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 The key combination is not the same on 764 trust me i tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sfbp Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 time to look for the service manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pantera_Neagra Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sfbp Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 You can try Google. At this stage in the product's lifetime, you will probably have to pay for the service manual, however, since it is relatively new. I found one for $25. Maybe you can do better......

0 tds101 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 There is no solution to the low volume issue,..as Sony most likely locked the service menu on all models nowadays. And all the EU models have the volume limit firmly in place - no link to a AVLS setting will help I'm afraid as it has NOTHING to do with that feature. That link to it above is a Sony service rep blowing smoke up peoples butts. Currently there is no solution EXCEPT to purchase a non-volume restricted model. I would know,...I own/ed both EU and USA models. The USA models are quite loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sfbp Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Looking at the manual for the NWZ-S54x series, the firmware can only be written when the cover of the device is removed. At a guess I would say perhaps the service manual writing of the values you want (Sound Pressure SP) can only be done when the top is removed.

0 Pantera_Neagra Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Can u make a tutorial pls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sfbp Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 1. I don't have an NWZ-54x, but a NWZ-75x 2. Mine doesn't have the SP (volume cap) limitation 3. I have not done the removal of the case - which IS clearly described in the service manual for that machine So I have nothing to write a tutorial on - I am not going to give instructions on something I cannot test, have not tested, and will not test. All I can suggest is that you read the 54x service manual, figure out how to remove the cover, and then try setting the device in to service mode. Sorry!

0 sfbp Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 what????? This is a couple of pages summarizing the user manual for a different walkman (actually several walkmen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sony nwz s764 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 First of all is not the user manual. This is the service manual.Second on page 16 you have a test mode combination that works the NWZ s 764. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sfbp Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Thank you for the clarification. I apologise for missing the rest of the manual, I could have sworn there was nothing after page 2 when I looked before. It is now posted in the downloads sections. However.... at page 23 (22 of 28) it clearly states that the Sound Pressure check and Destination (sections 4-5-5 and 4-5-6) are "not used for the servicing". I think this means that at least the INTENT is that they are not changeable, just as everyone has been reporting. However the manual outlines that if the right firmware is flashed using a program "updating-mtp" (not sure of the suffix, whether .exe or someother executable type of file) the destination is set, along with sound pressure - see section 1-3, page 6 (5 of 28). However there are lots of different firmware versions corresponding to different countries and memory sizes, and all are presumably specific to the NWZ-E46x series of this manual. So the test mode, just as everyone has already stated, will not help you get around the volume limitation. It is built into the firmware. Sorry - this doesn't help OP. And I suspect the same goes for the FM frequency allowed, which others have asked about in order to find out if they can make, for example, the Japan version of these devices to work with radio stations broadcast in other locations.
