Stop the music!!!
I would if I could, but I can't without turning off the machine, removing the memory cards and letting the damn thing re-start!
![]() I hate to think the I'm too stupid to find the switch, or that Sony was too lazy to put one on the 505. So were is it? ![]() How can I turn off the music without having to re-load the entire machine? Or is it a case of; 'well you just have to turn off the entire machine every time?' ![]() Thanks Stitchawl |

if your 505 works normally, you can go the music page and press the enter key (the one between the 4 directional keys at the bottom right) to pause the music. press it again to resume playing

Thanks! I'll give it a try. I'd love to see a manual.

Here's a link to the 505 US version of the user manual.

![]() You mean to say your 505 was not supplied with a manual? I had the same problem when I first got mine, not only was the manual on the cd but was also pre loaded on the 505 itself. I agree the answer is not blatantly obvious. |

All we had in those days was Radio Luxembourg, because the BBC (and establishment) thought pop music was sinful. Then came the 'Pirate' stations (ships in the north sea) Caroline, Radio London etc. which the UK government tried (unsuccessfully) to Outlaw & jam. Quite a few US Dj's on them. |

![]() In fact, I had found the manual on line, but never even noticed the big letters at the end of the Audio section that said; HINT: To stop playback.... Somehow, it just never registered in my brain! ![]() Quote:

I downloaded the User's Guide and read it (the audio playback section). Is there a Manual in addition to a User's Guide? I didn't see any mention of pressing Enter twice. They mention pressing Enter to toggle Play/Stop.
IMO, the audio playback is not intuitive. |

Most people don't use the audio playback. It just drains the battery and not all that wonderful.

![]() Thought I had a clear memory of this, which returned the main menu to 'Now Playing - No Song' instead of just pausing whatever was playing and leaving the menu showing 'Now Playing - Annie's Song' (or whatever). Which leaves you thinking It's still playing when it is not. (If there's no volume control showing it's not playing). ![]() A very untidy part of an otherwise well designed product. Why should you have to go all the way back to the audio menu to stop it? |
