I updated my 40 Series Walkman yesterday after watching your video. The new mod definitely makes a difference; sonically it opened everything up, I enjoy using the Direct Source setting the best. I agree with the harshness in the highs with the factory firmware, before I always had to adjust the highs to negative in the eq. After the update it definitely smoothed out. Thanks to you, and Mr Walkman 👍✌️

Very specific to those with Walkman's of that type but rather interesting never the less. I used to love finding loop holes where outputs or additions to products were limited due to various country regulations. And it's always nice to find hidden gems you didn't realise existed. Nice one.

Great timing, I was thinking of getting one for Christmas but the lack of radio was putting me off. I'd heard about the firmware update but it's more reassuring to actually watch someone do it!

My phone has a warning for 'high volume', that I can press 'Ok' on and then turn the volume up louder. I appreciate that feature for my wired headphones, but it also applies that rule to bluetooth audio devices as well, every single one of my bluetooth devices has its own volume control and also plays sound from other sources, so I always have to acknowledge that stupid warning and turn up the bluetooth volume or risk deafening myself when I change to another source.

Kinda weird to see one of the famous KZread channels you're following showing your own stuff (in this case the Rockbox wiki page about the Sony destination tool). Great :)

Nice one. Tried this on my Sony NWZ-A845 and worked a treat. It was always so low in its volume output that I never ended up using it.

The VU meters (both types) reveal the possible reason for fatigue listening to certain music, because of the way it's mastered with the volume levels always at max, pegging the meters and clipping. This is known as "brickwall" compression. (Pull one of those songs into Audacity and look at the waveform and you'll see why it's called that.) It's tiring to listen to for long periods of time. Some people think that's the fault of digital audio like CDs, but the early (1990s and earlier) CDs were not mastered that way. Of course, if you take a brickwalled digital recording and just cram it onto vinyl, you're ruining that too. I still like to hear new music. I'm begging the recording industry to stop brickwalling and go back to natural highs and lows so music doesn't hurt so much! (Sorry for the rant. What were we talking about again?)

Thank you so much for this handy guide to changing my UK Walkman to the Australian "version".

in the comment section, mention obs to summon tech moan.

Hi Techmoan, check out the latest version from Mr.Walkman the DMP-A50_FEv2. This revised version gives two boot modes, Classic and Plus. The Classic mode gives a rich sound and the Plus gives even more richness and purity to the sound. You still retain the FM Radio and the rest of the sound manipulation modes. It would be interesting to see how the volume for the Classic and Plus boots compare with your current build.

Thank you for this video!!! I love my Walkman A50, but this custom firmware is going to make it even better

I have to say though that Android misses the easy solution of iTunes. Your iPhone is bricked because you jailbroke it ? Restore it with iTunes. It got stuck updating ? Restore it with iTunes. It doesn’t work ? Put it in DFU and restore it with iTunes. I bricked two of my previous Android phones and often you need to use the specific app made by your phone manufacturer, which is often really bad. That or you install the whole Android SDK so you can enter some command lines and reflash your phone (assuming that the recovery can’t just recover your phone, but I didn’t have much chance with that feature). Annoying considering my Zenfone 2 bricked 2 weeks after I bought it, just because it failed to update to Android 6. Had a similar issue with my Zenfone 4 later on.

The market crippling is common, and also extends to mobile phones as well, with the US being famous for not having radio reception in devices, probably a result of the AM radio lobby because it is hard to get an AM radio into the small format and still have room for the rest of the unit, plus the performance will be even worse than normal AM is. Many manufacturers allow you to change and update the firmware as well, and you select the region firmware and put it on, getting the feature set needed.

I've tried setting it to region E2 like yours and was exploring the new icon at top (music record, has a red dot). For me, the original text is missing. The instructions are replaced with a series of numbers. Instead of saying something like "record bitrate", i only get 050005. Can anyone else tap on their record music button and let me know what you see? EDIT: Until someone else confirms, I'm guessing the music record is a japanese-exclusive function. The numbers are placeholders for Japanese text. EDIT2: My A55 is a Hong Kong version btw, original region E. Setting to region E2 also kills language changing, so I can't change to Japanese to test my theory above. In conclusion, for the average user of A55, I suggest setting it to region E to be the most feature-rich in multi-language. Region E2 appears to be unreleased officially by Sony and may contain other bugs. As a side note, the whole reason i got a Hong Kong version was because I wanted to use the official bluetooth remote control. Now we can change region on a whim haha.

Brill just changed it on my A15 And A25 models, Cheers !

My old iriver E100 from over a decade ago, that I still use daily in my car, has an FM radio, insanely optimised sound controls in the EQ (even has WOW SRS), it also has built in stereo speakers, built in mic, the ability to record from FM radio, external mic input, line in input for audio recording, flac and ogg file playback as well as the usual formats, video playback on its colour screen, can be plugged into any phone using OTG adaptor plus it has sd card expandable storage... THIS is the BEST PMP out there when it came to BANG FOR YOUR MONEY!!!

What am I doing here I don't even own a Walkman..

Do you only consume content that has a direct application to your current needs in life?

tbh these limitations seem just like android limits. I'd even wager there is a similarity in the os used. android phones will b0rk you if you're not looking with a "Uhh level of sound is too high man, like, I'm not going there.. unless you click me." and when so many regional devices have various limits on applications, yet are able to be implemented with a modded firmware (if the device does have the components simply disabled) .. just reeks of bureaucracy to me.
