User questions & answers

Question:	Will this unit work with active speakers
Answer:	I doubt that this would have any effect. It is a stretchy sock, kind of like a light support hose. It is great for filtering dust, pollen, small particles and oils but it is not a water filter. It is well worth the cost.
Question:	does this unit record to cd-r also? Or does it only play cd's
Answer:	I had the tower also, but it was worn out. I changed to the version without the tower. I am not sure you could cut a hole and get the correct filtering. However, you if you could, it would be worth a try as the sock catches so much of the bigger waste that would go to your filters. If it was me, I would give it a try. Just note that you do have to stretch to get the sock to fit at the top.
Question:	Does it have a remote control
Answer:	Stretch it over the handle. To remove the basket just lift the handle up through thebsock - the sock is stretchy enough to let you lift the handle enough to get the basket out. This is easier than the other answers of removing and replacing the handle or fighting the sock around the raised handle.
Question:	is it a stand alone unit or do I need another unit besides speakers to be able to hear and play music
Answer:	A replacement remote is available. Cost would be $39.95, plus $12.00 shipping, in the US only. I hope that this is helpful. Best regards, Adam Lawrence customer service todayspoolandspa

User questions & answers

Question:	when it's time, how is the battery changed out
Answer:	Can only be done by Sony ... the battery is not made to be replaced by the consumer (which is true of many, many portable audio players, particularly the higher-end types). I believe the life if the battery from complete discharge to top-up is 500 cycles, so it should last many years before any issues with the battery might become apparent.
Question:	What file types will this unit play
Answer:	Hi M, Kansas, this high-resolution Walkman supports MP3, WMA, FLAC, Linear PCM, AAC, HE-AAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and DSD formats. Thanks, -Mark
Question:	Why would my note 8 sound far better than this unit with direct source eq? Both using flac files and same songs? Is my unit defective
Answer:	Maybe you prefer the sound of Note 8. Many people actually like slightly "imperfect" sound. After all, on a daily basis, we are all exposed to heavily processed and eq-ed sounds so maybe that is what we start liking.
Question:	Hello What is the difference between the 2017 model and the NW-WM1A B
Answer:	What then are the differences between the "2017" model and earlier? I purchased the Amazon advertised 2017 model (at full retail) and the firmware was 1.02 and the battery was completely depleted.

User questions & answers

Question:	How does the duo compare to the Neptune. Neptune stops taking a charge after a couple of months use. Thanx
Answer:	I had 2 neptunes and they both broke in about 1 year. I liked the design of the neptune much better but hope this new design lasts at least a couple of years (I have a blue/white generation 1 swimp3 that still works).
Question:	how do I ensure that random is not switched on? I listen to audio books and am struggling to keep it playing in order
Answer:	My songs play in the order in which they were loaded....alphabetical. I know my playlist ahead of time so I can keep track of my time without having to count laps. I'm always afraid that I'll do something to put it in random mode, but so far, so good. I think that you can probably look it up online.
Question:	Has anyone used waterproof earbuds with an ipod shuffle. the sound is incredible. i can't imagine that the duo can compete. anyone
Answer:	Well, the assumptions in this question make it hard to answer, but I'll try. Lots of people have used iPod Shuffles with waterproof earbuds. The sound quality depends a lot on the earbuds used. As an integrated bone conducting headphone and mp3 player, the Duo is quite different, an it's hard to compare without knowing what earbuds you're thinking of. That said, I am very impressed with the Duo sound quality and volume. I can hear music and podcasts clearly. I've tried a few styles of waterproof earbuds, and they won't stay in place for me, generally have more muddled sound, and I have to regularly futz with them to research them or clear some water from behind them. I have had better workouts with great sound and less interruptions using the Duo than with anything plugged into earbuds. For me, the Duo definitely compete!
Question:	How do i know if this is the latest, greatest version available? i know finis has updated it because older models had issues
Answer:	The short answer is this one is the latest version. Saying that I prefer the previous version (LED screen which allowed with to look at song titles/order, better volume control, smaller speakers attached to your goggles etc...) design much better. Saying that, I had 2 of them and both only lasted about 1 year. Hopefully, this design will be better.
