   Note: If your Walkmandoesn't have aHOLDswitch, go to step 3.

3. Reset or restart your Walkman.

   IMPORTANT: The procedure to reset or restart is different depending on the models. Check in advance to see if your model has a reset button. Stored data and settings will not be deleted when performing a reset or restart, but make sure to pause your music or video playback before beginning the reset or restart procedure.
