As ive got everything else sony,thjought i would ditch the ipod for the walkman NWA55l.

However,when i try to connect to my sony STR Dn1080  via USB( with usb-dac switched on) it says device  is not supported 😞

Never mind it will pair by bluetooth i thought..nope wont connect through bluetooth either.

Ipod pairs no problems with amp.

Sorry for the delay in reply.

When connected by USB  and Dac switched on  it says " this device not supported"

With DAC off ,doesn't even recognise  there anything connect to the USB port.

Have got it to work with Bluetooth (finally) ,but its not the easiest of set ups ,would rather just plug it in,switch amp on press play, without  having to go through GUI on the TV all the time. .

Have also tried RCA to 3.5 mm interconnect,but the volume is really low.

Hi there,

I've looked into this and it seems that the receive is compatible with USB mass storage devices only: https://helpguide.sony.net/ha/strdn108/v1/en/contents/TP0001221212.html

I found some information about putting the Walkman in USB mass storage mode here: https://helpguide.sony.net/dmp/nwa50/v1/en/contents/TP0002342924.html
