Music Centre Not Recognising NWZ-A865

[chcamfi]

My Walkman has lain unused for some years but I've decided to start using it again. It is recognised by Windows 10, Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player, by the Sony Content Transfer Software, and by the old Media Go software. But not by the Music Centre software, which just says "Connect The Device".

I have checked that all the software and Firmware is "up to date" (huh), changed MSC to MTP, tried two separate cables, 4 different USB ports, gone through this list (https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/digital-music-players-nw-nwz-a-series/nwz-a865/articles/0...), and still nothing.

And yet no one else seems to have this issue. What am I missing?

Hi Sean

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my enquiry. I'm well aware that Media Go has been discontinued. Why else would I be trying to use Music Centre?

Perhaps my original message was not clear?

Hi again,

Apologies I misread your query.

If you've also tried a soft reset and it's still not resolved the issue, I would get in touch with the support team here for further help. 

Best wishes,

Sean
