    My Walkman isn't recognized when connected to my computer

    Try the following troubleshooting steps:

    1. Disconnect the USB cable once, then reconnect it.
      Notes:
      • If the Walkman's USB port is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Dust or dirt may prevent recognition.
      • If your computer has multiple USB ports, try connecting the cable to a different USB port.
      • If you are using a USB hub, disconnect it and connect the Walkman directly to the computer's USB port.
    2. Restart the Walkman.
      • Press and hold the power button, then select Restart on the screen.
    3. Restart the computer.
    4. Initialize the Walkman.
    5. Connect the Walkman to a different computer and check if it's recognized.
