Do I need to download it? This update is not necessary if your Walkman has already been updated to firmware version 1.02 by the automatic firmware update function. If you're not sure, it's easy to check which version of firmware you have:
  1. Tap the [Options/Settings] icon, in the bottom right corner of the screen
  2. Select the [Settings] menu
  3. Scroll until the bottom and choose the [Unit Information] menu
    Confirm the Model number and Firmware version

    Installed firmware 1.2 update on my a35. Have noticed screen scrolling is smother, in the past when moving up artists the artist root was blank (with dividers still there) this seems to have been sorted.

    Hello, could you confirm that this firmware version solving problems with BlueTooth Audio volume changing from a player? Currently i can change volume up/down from a player with JBL Pulse 2 only, though it has volume control on speaker too, but with B&O Beoplay P2 it only play on maximum or mute, and that speaker has no hardware volume control buttons, similar sh1te behavior with jawbone speakers, volume not working with razer leviathan speakers. It's definitely software problem as you can pressing-play with volume limiters and EQ and..as it should not affect BT audio but somehow volume is dropping half during switching modes coz of some glitch. the support of so-called sony now is gross, not sure before was better. any1?
