all necessary servicing, repair or correction.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from country/state to country/state. Some countries/states

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT
WILL CREATIVE’S LIABILITY OR DAMAGES TO YOU OR ANY
OTHER PERSON EVER EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO
USE THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM.
Some countries/states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion
may not apply to you.

Terminology
The Creative Audio Stream Recorder (ASR) is a software application that enables you to record
streaming audio content from the Internet, and then play it back on your computer or transfer it to your
player.
The ASR helps you to record Internet radio programs, sports events, company earning calls, hourly news
updates — most of the audio content you can find online. You can specify the URL of the streaming
content or select it from the ASR content directory. ASR can also be scheduled.
We have included a tutorial designed to guide you step by step around your new player. The tutorial is
useful for both new and experienced owners.
If you are not familiar with technology or terms used in this document, you can refer to the “Glossary”
on page A-2. Refer to this section to help increase your understanding of your player and the
technologies used in its creation.
