It sounds like a dud unit to me (I assume you havent't dropped it like a
few guys on md-l do, accidently?) My advice is take it back, demand a
refund or a decent MD portie (Sony). You can't go far wrong with their
Minimans :-)

Another reason to get a proper MD portie unit, the Sony's have a proper
line-out socket unlike the Sharp garbage. Volume and bass boost circuitry
doesn't affect the sound- you Sharp fools tell me they sound better despite
all the unwanted processing and I'll laugh 'till next week.
