my unit drains it pretty fast. I charged it on sunday and i only have 50% left (5-6 hours of usage). Maybe i should do a battery reset after all the updates


Screen time and the enhancements can affect the battery a lot...

Try timing the usage 50% judging by the bars on top arent really accurate

Any idea how long 1A should last if you use it as bluetooth receiver?

I think about 10 hours, have never used it like that for long enough to actually find out

Corny question, does anyone listen to their Walkman while it's charging on the PC or do you just let it fully charge before going at it again?

I use mine mostly in the evening when I travel and sometimes also at home, I send 100-150 nights away from home each year

So I'm guessing it's fine to listen while it's charging? I'm perhaps being TOO careful with this new Walkman

Looks great. What tubes are you using (curious because I see they all need adapters)?

I have my travel tubes in the WA3 for work... you can see my complete collection in my profile.

Those are not adapters; they are socket savers.

Uh, oh... just got my RMT-NWS20 Remote Commander for the WM1A. But guess what? Isn't supported by the North America version.

Seems that I need the Asia/Australia/NZ (E) region set and then the "remote control setting" will appear in the Bluetooth menu.

I guess I will have to plunge into the world of changing the region on this player...

Changing regions is something really simple once you'll do it once. The remote will show up at least for the E and J region (I think there was one more).

Is it better to buy it brand new?

I'd rather find a good deal on a new one, unless I know the seller, if you get a dud it will just be problem to deal with.

Flip it to J, CA, CN or E as these all support the BT remote, possibly more.
