Product Manuals
Q: Howdy. Been waiting to buy one of these for 2 months. Any news on anticipated arrival?
A: Yea, me too. Seems like everyone but Best Buy has them in stock. Guessing they are trying to clear out the old model NWA45 before selling this new NWA55.
Q: Does this player have the AptX HD codec? If it is a firmware download, is the download through Sony?
A: Hi AptXHD, Yes, aptX HD is a supported coded on this unit. Ref: https://helpguide.sony.net/dmp/nwa50/v1/en/contents/TP0002342892.html?search=aptx -Sam
A: I use a powered USB hub and an Anker PowerPort 4 phone charger to charge this device and I have absolutely no problem at all. As long as you have something that can charge a regular smart phone you should be able to hook this up to it and charge with no problem. Anywhere you charge a phone you should be able to charge this.
Q: Can this be used in vehicles
A: Yes you can either bluetooth connect or Auxiliary cable hook up to a vehicle that has a jack or is bluetooth capable
A: Need to manually search by album, artist, genre, etc. No voice commands.
Q: What country is this device manufactured in?
A: Malaysia
A: To transfer files from a PC with Windows 10 you do not need special software or Sony’s Media Center. It took a few tries to get it working. If using a Micro SSD card, first insert it on the Sony and then go to Settings / Device Settings / Reset Format. There you will have the option of formating the card on the Sony, it must be done or it will not recognize it. Formating on the PC does not work. Then you can take the card out or leave it there, but if you want to use the Sony while you copy a bunch of music into the card, then take it out and use the Micro SD adapter or not and plug it to whatever USB card reader you have. The PC may already have a slot for writing/reading cards. Beware that some USB card readers have the bad habit of disconnecting after a while especially when copying a large amount of stuff leaving the last album incomplete. Now you will see the card on Windows Explorer and if you open it you will see a System folder and a MUSIC folder. The music folders to be transferred need to be organized as “Album Artist/Album”. So for example, there needs to be a Folder Named “Beatles” or “The Beatles” if preferred and then inside it the Albums, like “Revolver.” Make sure the ID tag matches by using a program like the free and excellent Mp3tag. Then you can just copy or drag the folders into the Sony card Music folder. To transfer into hte internal memory is the same but the Sony needs to be plugged into the PC.
Q: Can these connect to Airpods? I'm guessing no but...
A: I think your Airpods should connect to the NW-A55, although there may be a few hicups with connecting. I use Jaybirds Vistas with them right now and when they work they work wonderfully but sometimes the connection isn't done right and you can't change the volume. That situation might happen with the airpods. A quick solution for me is just turn off the airpods, turn them back on and attempt to reconnect. The Sony Proprietary OS's bluetooth driver doesn't seem to work as good as well as android bluetooth drivers.
