Use it once, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE!

The MP3 player is an USB-integrated product with no need for a USB cable, which offers you fast data transfer and convenient recharging.

FREEDOM OF MY FAVORITE SELECTION WITH MP3 PLAYER!

You can edit your favorite music files in the playlist.

3D-User Set : Sets 3D sound effect and bass enhancement for the 3D-User function. <3D> can be set between 0~5 levels, and <Bass Enhance> between 0~3 levels. If <3D-User Set> is selected, the setting you’ve made in the <DNSe> menu will change to <3D-User>.

(<Normal> : To play all the tracks in order one time. <Repeat> : To repeat all files. <Repeat One> : To repeat one file. <Shuffle> : To play files at random.)

Play Speed : Adjust the playback speed of music/voice recording. Select <x0.7>, <x0.8>, <x0.9>, <x1.0>, <x1.1>, <x1.2>, or <x1.3>. (The higher the number is, the faster the playback speed is.)

Skip Interval : Set the length of the segment the file will skip when you press the [ ] or [ ] button during playback. Select either <1 Track>, <3 sec>, <5 sec>, <7 sec>, <10 sec>, <30 sec>, or <1 min>.

The play speed and skip interval will return to the default (play speed: x1.0, skip interval: 1 track) each time you turn on the player.

If the play speed is set to other than x1.0, <DNSe> will be switched to <Normal>.
