Check if the volume is set to 0
Check if the player has any music file stored in its disk. Damaged music files may not play or play
improperly. Check the connection of the earphones to the D2. Loose or blocked connection can
cause inadequate contact between earphone jack and the D2.
The battery life is shorter when I use external memory
D2 requires more power to read and play back/record files from an external memory card,
So, battery life will be shorter when using external memory compared to using the internal memory.
Album image is not displayed in Music Mode
In order display album image, the image has to be stored in the ID3 tag of the music file. You can
edit the ID3 tags using jetAudio.
Video won’t play.
All video files must be converted using jetAudio VX. Any other video files are not supported by D2.
5. After checking the target folder location to save the converted files and other settings, click on “Start”
to start the video conversion process.
- Movie files that have not been converted by jetAudio VX will not play in COWON D2.
- Make sure that the movie files play properly on the PC.
- Not all video files can be converted. Files already damaged before conversion may not work on COWON D2 even if the conversion process is successful.
- Conversion time may vary depending on PC performance, source file size and codec types.
- “Preview” allows checking the converted video before starting conversion.
- To convert a file with subtitles or to change settings on subtitles, click on “Convert Options”.
- SMI files for subtitles must have the same file name as its video file.
FM Radio does not work.
D2 does not have a separate antenna. Instead it uses earphone wire to receive FM Radio signals.
Stretching the wires may enhance the reception quality. FM radio reception may be poor at locations
where FM radio transmissions are shielded. If FM radio does not work where reception should be
possible, please contact our service center (Note that reception quality of D2 may differ from other
FM radio receivers.)
DMB does not work
This model does not include DMB module. Built-in DMB module is available in COWON D2 DMB
model.
There is too much noise in my recordings.
COWON D2 uses ultra-small embedded microphone, so it may be more susceptible to noise during
recordings.
