Volume Control Question NX60

[keithwwalker]

I just purchased an NX60 on clearance from CompUSA for 299.

Anyway, having never used a pda before I am coming to grips.

One irration is that the volume control won't go up to maximum level when I am using Audio Player.

Am I missing something here????

I am playing an mp3 on a regular memory stick.

thanks

If it is only going to one third, then you need to push AVLS(never owned a Sony Walkman, eh?) Means Automatic Volume Level stabilizer(?)- system(?), This will protect you from taking the volume up to harm your ears, deaf? If it only is a little bit away from full vol then use the jogdial to change volume..

When my headphones are on, it has more volume than I can stand :)!

Thanks nx70, for the AVLS tip.
You are correct, I have never owned a walkman and this is only my second day with the NX (my first pda)!

Quite the Spinal Tap question, I must admit..

You are welcome.
You never had a Walkman? Not even one by AIWA or Panasonic? You maybe missed somethin'. Sound a good mood where ever you go.
But I apologize that- you have finally come to the Walkman of all Walkmen: the NX :D
Enjoy life

[keithwwalker]

Yes it is true.
I have never owned a walkman, or similar, device!
I was a teenager when they were introduced. Confounding, isn't it?

Not really, maybe they were too expensive to by for a teenager. When I was 17 I had my first real Sony Walkman- including Bass Boost and AVLS. Since then I have ever had a portable. MD or MC. But the AVLS is of no use. It limitates you in your choice of volume- but not the music. Known as normalization, this is what I expect from a AVLS-button..

AVLS- gives you distortion free sound. its very useful if you are using the bass boost at 3, it only lets you go to a volume were it produces clear audio once the sound gets crackely it wont let you go any louder.

[nx70]

Yeah, but why does it call itself automatic volume.. ? It does fix the vol level. that's all.

[Oripaamoni]

becuase it automatically ajusts the volume with the quality of the headphones... and if you notice in some "clean" songs you can go louder and "distorted songs. ie john mayer-clean and Metallica -distorted
