Perverted sound by SONY

[ssasha]

Hello

I use player (NW-A3000) as metronome (left channel) and music back line (right channel). And all pauses in right channel have a strong click (from left one). In line out or headphones - both.

Wav in wavelab have no any even low level signals - all clean. In transfer settings I allways use atrac advanced lossless. and have no problem in sonicstage playback from player.

Is all bad as i see?!

I hope my unit is broken

Strange feelling - like thats a way its should be

If its so - i have no words to say.

STEREO = SOMETHING LIKE STEREO

If you please you can try simple test:

I made test file

and save it in two formats as wav 44 24 and mp3 320

http://rapidshare.com/files/13383323/stereo_test.rar.html

File contains 12 clicks in left (ONLY left channel) and then 12 clicks in right (ONLY right channel) and same again

If you takeout one of headphone (left or right) - after 12 clicks you hear total lack of sound (Silence)

Thats right?!

After test NW-A608 i see that model have no stereo too. SONY can't produce flash/hdd audio devices with even normal sound like cd or md walkmans. Don't know what about you, but that "sound" not for me. I'll will take money back and test creative vision m - may be it have no perverted sound.

ssasha,

I'm not exactly what you're saying.. are you furious that it leaks sound into both channels or are you mad that "stereo" sound isnt really "stereo"? I think it depends on the song itself. If it was produced IN STEREO it will reproduce it in stereo. If the artists/band puts different sound onto the different channels, then it will reproduce it accordingly.

Taken from SonyStyle USA's website for the NW-S705F:

"Clear Stereo and Clear Bass

Clear Stereo reduces leaking of the audio signal from one channel to another. Clear Bass enhances the bass sound minimizing distortion "

I didn't see this feature specifically in the A1200, but im guessing it has similar technology (Clear Stereo at least)

I have a song on all my players and it utilizes the two channel-two sounds thing. If you want, go find Psaap's 'Cozy in the Rocket'. Listening from a stereo system, it sounds fine.. but when you have it as earbuds/headphones, it sounds funny since there are two different sounds coming out from both speakers.

I mean that if i record sound in left channel i dont want here it from right. May be i am dumb, but all i want that if i record in left i want here it from left - only. Not a big thing for my lovely 985 cd walkman (line out), but impossible for a3000. I am not talking that 985 sounds much more better then mp3 players, its all only about enchanced stereo that i dont wanna here. If it one of the turn on/turn off function- ok, but it always on even in line out - its bad. About it no words in instruction. why it exist?! A3000 its not tamagochi - its player and basic functions must be standart for player or other music device or if its unstandart it must be easy to see.
