The Walkman player becomes hot.

The Walkman uses parts that consume a lot of power to play with high sound quality, and heat will be generated during use. Additionally, keeping the screen on for a long time, high-resolution sound playback, DSEE HX operation, and high-volume playback can all cause an increase in heat.

Follow these steps when the player becomes hot:

• Turn off the player when not in use.
• Lower the volume.
• Set the Sleep setting to within one minute.
  Select  Settings — Display — Sleep, then set the time.
• Lower the display brightness.
  Select  Settings — Display — Brightness, then lower the brightness.
• Turn off some or all of the sound quality settings.
  1. Select  Sound adjustment.
  2. Turn off all sound quality settings such as Equalizer, DSEE HX, and DC Phase Linearizer.
• Turn off Wi-Fi when not in use.
  Select  Settings — Network & Internet — Wi-Fi, then set it to OFF.
• Close all unused apps.
   

NOTES:

• Take care using the player if the screen lights have been on for a long time as the player may be hot
• Do not place the player in an airtight bag or wrap it in cloth as either can cause the player to become hot
