Is the WM-port to headphone jack a lineout cable? (ON BOTTOM RIGHT)

yes it is. If your car stereo uses a cable that plugs into your headphone jack to listen to your mp3 player....it will not work on the X. You have to use that lineout cable and plug it into an aux connection to get your X to work. Not sure what the reasoning for that is. I believe it's the only Walkman that you cannot connect using the headphone jack.

That's BS. If u connect the headphone out from X1000 to any headphone in (speakers, car stereo, amp, dac, etc), it definitely work.



That particular cable included in the package is line-in cable, turning your X1000 into standalone noise-canceling device.

The cable inputs singal from external source and plays it from your headphones. It's usefull for example in airplanes. You can connect the line-in cable to the airplane's plug, activate the X1000's noise-cancelling and listen to the noise-cancelled music coming from the airplane's system. Well designed thingy

But since the NC headphones that came with the X have low impedance, when the PA turns on, wouldn't it blow your eardrums?

Use the Airplane Adaptor that came with X, it has resistor in it.

I use to own the X. It never worked with the headphone jack in my car. Not really sure why. The plug just never made the connection I guess.

My assumption was that the cable was similar to the cable that plugs in the bottom of an ipod. You get the sound straight from the source not through the headphone circuitry. Which if that's the case, the sound bill be cleaner than running the line out of the headphone jack. Not sure though. I never read the book to find out what the usage was.
