NW-A808 / stand-by-mode / X-ray security check

[steve.ch]

hello,

after years of enjoying the various SONY HDD i changes some weeks ago to the new flash-based NW-A808. ...and its great! a real treat for your ears!!!

as i will catch a fligt in some days, i was was thinking of the fact that the player will only shut completely down after about 24HRS or so, that means when i will have to check the player at security-check it will probably still be in stand-by-mode. so i imagine that for this there will still be some sort of voltage/electricity activatet in the flash memory or so......

so now i am a little worried, if this together with a dose of x-ray during the check might be harmful to the player or erase some data from it.

i flew last year with the HDD-walkman and it was fine, but that is a different memory technique and it was also not in stand-by-mode!

so anybody already took a journey with the NW-A8XX series? or with another SONY flash-player that will remain in stand-by-mode for so long time?

what good is such a long stand-by-mode for anyway?

i would be glad for a relieve of my worrys by some people who have already passed through x-ray with their flash players!!

I have traveled with my NW-S706 and had absolutely no problem. It worked perfectly during my plane flight. Your NW-A808 should be fine. Just remember to change it before you start your travels.

Stand-by-mode/Sleep-mode. After stopping play, the NW-S706 enters sleep-mode in about 5 seconds. Thus, I would have to assume it was in Sleep mode when my items when through the x-ray. I have never heard of any problems with flash players having technical problems after being screened before a flight.
