Hi everybody,

I just bought a NWZ a865 today. Great stuff, except for one thing : the sound cap.

As I'm french, I heard our country had a strict control about cap on audio materials. I know it, I already had a Walkman, Sony, that I bought 6 years ago.

But the problem is...there's no more way to suppress this cap. On my old walkman, I found a way to disable it, but for this new walkman, I don't find it.

I searched nearly 2 hours on the web, no results. All that I found is E series can access to a MPPA (or something like that) mode, who's a Test mode where you can change many parameters, and disable this cap.

But for the A series, nothing.

Let's make it clear : I spend nearly 200 euros in that baby, and it has a perfect sound...if I'm in a doctor's waiting room, or in my bed, late at night. So my first question is : when will the firmware appear ?

2nd question is even simpler : will a firmware appear ?

If not, I'll give you such a bad press...you can't even imagine, cause we are not talking about a 20 euros, but just the of the 1/8 of my month income.
