That makes sense....well, as much sense as anything else, hahaha. It's just odd to me that the device cannot be charged without it being "on." I've largely been a willing prisoner in Apple's wall garden and I'm used to being able to charge i-devices while they are powered-down. Oh well, if that's what comes with owning this, so be it. It's ultimately going to be 1) sound quality; 2) usability; and 3) durability that makes or breaks a DAP for me.

Predictably, I was not able to "side-grade" from Japanese 2.01 to international 2.01. I am a Mac user, so I am relegated to using Android File Transfer (which I am used to from my 5.5+ years of owning an A&K DAP). I copied the international .upg to the root folder of the 507, but when I tried to update, it just told me on the most current firmware. Guess I'll just have to wait until the next update to try manually switching to the international firmware (if I even think that matters when the time comes).

Hi all,

I am looking forward buying an EU unit of the zx507 despite the volume cap (I have campfire solaris with 10ohms, I suppose it would be ok even with the limit).

My question is, do we have a feedback of anyone who updated their zx507 EU to the latest firmware (2.01) ? If yes, is volume cap gone ?

Thank you

Uh oh, this can't be good.

I had my device plugged in over night for burn-in with Apple earbuds plugged in (to a iPhone USB adapter), for ~17 straight hours. This afternoon, I then proceeded to transfer music to both the internal storage and a 128GB Samsung microSD (formatted in the player). After doing so, I unplugged it and started to use it for listening for a while.

I then noticed the battery status bar icon was outlined in red with a red "+" sign in the middle of the icon as well. I searched and found this was related to thermals; heat causing the device to stop further charging. https://helpguide.sony.net/dmp/nwzx500/v1/en/contents/TP0002433013.html

My icon looks different than this --->

<---- from the link above

Anyway, I then turned off my device for 2.5 hours. I just turned it back on and the battery status icon is still outlined in red with the red + sign. Yikes. ****The device is NOT hot to the touch (obviously, after sitting turned off for 2.5 hours).

What's interesting is that now when I plug my 507 into the charger, the battery icon switches to normal. The moment I unplug, back to red outline & red +sign.

****Anyone think a full reset would do any good?

Did you leave your screen turned on all the time during the burn-in? The Walkman will heat up quite a lot if you leave the screen on while charging, which overtime could trigger the thermal protection and stops charging.

Normally the Walkman will only go up to 40-44 degree C during charging with the screen turned off.

red plus icon means the battery is below 20%. It is not a thermal warning. Have you enable battery percentage like I mentioned before?

1. No, I did not leave the screen on the whole time. It is set to for screen to turn off after 1 minute
2. I do have battery % on, and as of right now it shows as 91%.

I am not used to Android...can I take a screenshot with the ZX507?

I seem to be having a bad week; my brain is fried or something... I just realized I can transfer screenshot using Android File Transfer on my Mac:

Here is the device unplugged (note the battery status icon):

Here is the device plugged into the USB port of my Mac:
