this happens, the volume is turned down automatically.

ÿ

ˎ If the volume is set to a level that is harmful for your ears and you turn off 

the Walkman, the volume is turned down to a level that is safe for your ears 

automatically.

To enjoy better sound quality, or to fit your ears, change the size of the 
earbuds or adjust the earbud position to fit comfortably and snugly in 
your left and right ears separately.

part of the earbuds 

 fits into the  position on the projection of the
