Troubleshooting

I am still confused even after reading the manual.

Our website www.COWON.com provides support for users of COWON products with FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) and beginner’s guide for our products. Users are strongly encouraged to check out our website for further information regarding product usages and software upgrades and patches. For individual inquiries, please contact us on-line as we will try to help you as best we can.

I cannot turn on the player.

Charge the battery fully in case the battery charge has been drained. If the battery is weak it may take a few seconds to power on. If the player does not respond at all, first disconnect all USB and power cables, and then press the RESET button located at the bottom of the player. RESET button simply powers off the player and does not affect the player in any other way.

Buttons do not respond.

Check if the power switch is set to HOLD

The player is on but there is no sound.

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 COWON D2+. Loose or blocked connection can cause inadequate contact between earphone jack and the COWON D2+.

The battery life is shorter when I use external memory

COWON 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 COWON MediaCenter - JetAudio. Any other video files are not supported by COWON D2+.

FM Radio does not work.

COWON 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 COWON D2+ may differ from other FM radio receivers.)

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.

COWON D2+

Troubleshooting

Characters on the display are corrupted.

Reset the language using Settings-Display-Language menu and set display format to File name using Settings-Display-Title menu. If the problem continues, reset the player following the procedures outlined in the manual. Some special fonts may not display perfectly.

Computer cannot recognize the player when connected.

If COWON D2+ doesn’t’ power on when connected PC, press RESET button next to the USB jack on the bottom of the player. COWON D2+ may require additional driver installation for Windows 98 users. Connection to an external USB Hub may not be stable due to its low power. COWON D2+ should be connected directly to a PC’s USB port.

Player is not recognized by COWON MediaCenter - JetAudio and “No iAUDIO found” message appears.

Check to see if the player is recognized in Windows Explorer when it is properly connected to PC. COWON D2+ must be recognized in the Windows for it to work with COWON MediaCenter JetAudio.
