Until Sony repairs my effects unit as promised then reneged on I won't ever buy another sony product

Sony manufactured a guitar effects unit. My studio bought two at NAMM as professional recording engineers. Right out of the gate, they went bad. Sony promised to repair them and they did. The problem was not resolved. The reason is it was defectively designed with a memory battery soldered in instead of with a replaceable battery receptacle. I sent it back AGAIN and they promised to repair it. Well the big Sony mother ship sent it back said sorry out of warranty, unless you PAY the price essentially of a new unit since it was discontinued you are out of luck!! They just sent it back and it never worked. Essentially it was a defective design with Sonys poor attempt to get into commercial recording. It was a good unit when it worked! Until Sony repairs the unit, I will never buy any Sony product again nor have I, nor will anyone in our circle studio etc. nothing no computers nothing nor have we. It's their loss! We have one old computer left that is sony and after that dues we will have purged everything sony. Again their loss because we had an entire office full of song equipment, headsets, computers, recording gear, all purged!! You don't stand by your products, we won't invest in them!

annoyed2,
Why not send me a private message with your contact information (name, address, phone#) and the system model type and serial number from the bottom (i.e. 7763CTO, L3-A1234)  and also the FRU# on your battery.  
I'll look into this and see what can be done.   Sorry to hear that your recent experiences have soured you a bit on ThinkPad. 
I hope we can restore your confidence.
Best regards,
Mark

  • Should I buy an Sony ZU1 HD Camcorder

    The first TV station I worked for in 1989 (WEAR-TV3 in Pensacola) used 2inch tape to air their commercials and I learned to edit on 1" machines. Needless to say I've seen a lot of changes in my career.
    I've feel like it constantly necessary to re-learn what I do and how I do it. However, now that HD is on the horizon, I am considering buying the Sony ZU1 and using FCP5 to edit my new documentary. I need to make a decision soon as I will begin primary shooting September 28th.
    I have several questions about the transition to HD.
    Is it possible to combine HD and non-HD footage on the same timeline?
    Do I need an HD monitor or can I live with my current monitors?
    What about still graphics? What sort of dpi and pixel ratios do I need?
    How about After Effects. What are my composition settings and my output settings?
    There is a possibility to taking the documentary to DVD for sale. Can it be produced on DVD in Hi-def and if not how do I bump it to DV?
    I can't even see the number of possible traps and pitfalls to shooting and editing in Hi-Def. Perhaps this is too soon for a novice like me. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks for any input.
    P.S. If I don't buy the ZU1 what camera would you guys recommend in the under $5,000 range.

    Hello Michelle from downriver of you on the Indiana side.
    I started my broadcast career about the same time, and can even lay claim to having made edits on the old RCA quad machines.
    I've just purchased a Z1 at my university and we're just now wading through many of your questions etc. I can help you with a couple of your questions at least.
    We are, at least initially, very pleased with the image quality of the Z1. I regularly work with a 13 time national Emmy winner who owns both the Z1 and an 8 year old HDCAM camera, and he is blown away at the quality of the Z1 vs. what you pay for it.
    You don't have to have an external HD monitor, though it is nice. If you do want to monitor at HD reolution your desktop monitor will have to capable of that resolution.
    It's starting to look like we'll be doing all of our shooting in HDV, then capturing using the on-the-fly down convert to wide-screen DV - the idea being that until a viable distribution method for set-top boxes is available, we'll continue to distribute NTSC DVD's we author in DVDSP. If a client wants the HD version at a later date, we'll quote them a price to re-master using the original footage.
    A big issue you'll have to face is hard drive storage and speed should you decide to upconvert your HDV to an intermediate codec or better, for compositing. There is at least one excellent article available on the LAFCPUG web site:
    http://www.lafcpug.org/Tutorials/basic_hdvxdv.html
    This might help a little.

  • TS2634 My ipod touch will no longer play in both my docking stations, Bowers and Wilkins mini zeppellin and a Logitech, yet it plays in my car.  Is the ipod about to die?  Do I repair or buy another? It's only 2 years old!  thanks!

    My ipod touch will not play music in my Bowers and Wilkins mini zeppelin nor my Logitech.  Yet, it plays in my car.  The music can be heard playing in the ipod itself.  It is only 2 years old.  Should I repair or just buy another?  Thanks!

    Did it start not working after updating the iPOs on the iPod? SOmetimes updating an iOS breaks compatibility.
    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Never buy a Sony Ericsson for it's Customer Service ? What do you think ?. Terrible experience.Please advise.

    Hi , my name is Jomon Philipose . I am from Bangalore and a victim of poor workmanship and service  of Sony Ericsson C905A. It was not even 6 months that the camera , for which I bought the set showed it's true colours. "Open Lens Cover problem in Sony Ericsson phone". Yeah , just try and put that on Google and see the number of negative matched results for it !!!!!!. Guess should have read the reviews for Sony Ericsson before spending 12000 INR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.It's not only your hard earned money but the free frustration that you get for no fault of your own .. Taking it to the service centre is the only option where they tell you to repair it in 7 days but takes 2 weeks forcing you to buy a new phone if you do not have one. Forget all the re syncronisation and setting that you have to do about it, and think about the responses that you get from the Service Centre , in do not know what language. Caution : If you talk to them for more than hour it's hazardous to your spoken English .
    All you get to hear is the recorded tone of "Please wait for 48 hours " Even after you call them after 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
    No response to the Work Order complaint (SE311SS211175) what so ever . This is a crazy customer service !!!!!!! . I will definately never buy a Sony Ericsson no matter how good a phone reviews are  . Neither will let anyone whom I know buy it and put in best efforts to awaken them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .
    I have logged innumerable complaints at with Legal Feedback , Media Feedback , send an email to [email protected]@support.sonyericsson.com>
    Don't believe me ? , well you would have if you had heard the conversation with the Shrishti Services guys who tells me that neither " can they give the phone on time " or " Will they return it to me unrepaired!!!!!!". At one point of time I thought , the phone was Sony Ericsson's intellectual property!!!!.
    My phone is under Warranty . I am being told by the Sony Service Contact Centre guys over and again that my phone is not liable to change WO Number : SE311SS211175 old Work order : Se311SS210347. Request number for the replacement of the product
    90599712.
    They tell me I cannot speak to the escalations  manager . Neither can I escalate it .
    Is it  that all I have to do is keep on waiting without my phone ?. It's been the 17 th Day now . I am sure it is going to take a lot more time . They shamelessly said 8 more working days yesterday lol!!!!!
    I am definitely seeking help from the Consumer Court of India  .
    Guys ,lucky you if you had not to face the Customer Service Centre especially in India ,  or else may God help you .
    I really want to hear from the people who actually think there job is "Customer Care" and they are been paid for it coz I am still without a phone.

    If you think you are lucky go ahead and buy it,maybe by this time you could have already bought it  coz God forbid something happens to it, you do not have a  good customer service to support it.  After getting my phone back , not surprisingly again for the 4 th time the camera stopped working . It's a faulty product altogether and I do not want to go through the pains again to go through them . They are supposed to check the set again within 90 days from the time , the repair was carried out. But you know what I have given up  on them as my work does not allow me to keep my phone away for a long time .
    It would be a real pain in the place you know where .  All my research for buying a good phone at competitive price went straight into the gutters .
    . I would rather buy a new phone than going through the same process again for the 4 th time. And that would not be a Sony Ericsson for sure. They simply wouldnt agree that it is a faulty set and give me all kinds of stupid excuses like your phone has been used for 11 months and all . I have a question for them do you really spend thousaands for a just a phone only for the features or the peace of mind as well. Cause this one has definitely not brought peace to me . I mean c'mon 4 th time, same problem!!!!!!!

  • My Ipod 4th gen with 6.0.1 ios won't play on my sony docking station.  I have allready reset all my settings.  Is there anything else I can do?

    My Ipod 4th gen with 6.0.1 ios won't play on my sony docking station.  I have allready reset all my settings.  Is there anything else I can do?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Does Sony say it will work with a 4G iPod with iOS 6.0.1? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.
    Do you have the latest firmware on the dock? Go to Sony's website and check.

  • Do Not Buy From Sony

    Do not buy from Sony if you work. After 3 delivery attempts FedEx is required by Sony to ship it back to them. You CANNOT go to a FedEx facility to pick it up. After 5 phone calls with Sony support no one was willing to help me. I don't know how people who WORK buy things from this company. I will never buy anything from them ever again and I am canceling my Sony credit card. Thanks for nothing Sony.

    Thank you for your post. If you have any questions regarding the Sony online store's shipping policy please contact them directly using the number on the first link or use the form on the second link:

You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

    I have the same problem with lectures slides.
    Furthermore, sometimes the text box, when doube-clicking, turns  the text into a one-liner. Causing the text box to sometimes get 3. times wider than the pdf itself.

    By pressing [cmd + I] the Inspector opens up and clicking on the rightmost tab 'Annotations' you should be able find those Annotations again. I do this regularly to find the empty annotations I accidentally create while clicking through slides.
