2.0 Connecting and Charging the Player
Any USB device that
stores data (e.g. flash drives,
cameras, and media players)
should always be

This player will only
play videos that have been
converted to a compatible
video format.
2.1 Connecting and Disconnecting the Player from Your Computer
To connect your player to your computer, turn on the player and plug the
small end of the included USB cable into the player, and the large end into
the computer‟s USB port.
The first time you connect the player to your computer; your computer will
detect it and automatically install any necessary drivers. When it has
finished, the player will appear in My Computer as EMATIC MP3
To safely disconnect the player from your
computer, click the green arrow in the system
tray (the area by the clock on your task bar),
which will display a list of attached USB

computer using the USB cable.
3. Let the player charge for 4 hours before initial use. You can charge
the player for 2 hours there after.
3.0 Video Conversion
3.1 Installing Video Conversion Software
Before watching videos on your player they
must first be converted to a format that the
player recognizes. This conversion can be
done with Windows software that came with
your player. Follow these steps to install the
software:
1. Place the included CD into your computer's disc drive.
E4 Series User Manual Page 4 of 27 Page iv
Page 8
2. Click Start > My Computer, then click the drive corresponding to your
Note: You cannot
convert copyprotected DVDs.
disc drive.
3. Double-click Setup.exe to perform the installation.
4. Complete the installation as directed by the installation wizard. If
Windows asks you whether to allow the installation, click ALLOW.
3.2 Converting Video
To play videos on your player, you must (a) have some
videos on your computer, (b) convert them to the
format supported by your player (if necessary), and
then (c) copy the video files to your player.
Follow these steps to convert video files:
1. Connect your player to your computer using the USB cable if you wish
to save directly to the player.
2. Run the conversion software by clicking Start > Programs >
Multimedia Player Utilities > Video Converter.
3. Choose a folder in which to save the converted files by clicking the red
icon beside the Output File field.
You can save the converted files to your computer and copy them to
the player later, or save them directly to the player itself. To save the
converted files directly to the player, save to the player's VIDEO folder.
4. Build a list of videos to convert. Click the green icon next to the Input
File field, navigate your folders, and select one or more videos to
convert (Note that the program will not convert from any video format).
Once a video is selected, it will be added to a file list at the bottom of
the window. Repeat the Add File process until you have completed
your list of videos to convert.
5. Once the list is complete, click the Begin button ( ) to start
converting and the list of videos. A message will appear to indicate
when the list is complete.
3.3 Using Other Conversion Software
While the included software converts numerous formats to the format
required by the player, there may be some that it cannot convert.
Regardless of what conversion software you use, be sure to convert your
video media to a supported format, and at a 320x240 resolution (See
“Supported Formats” on pg. 27 for more information).
E4 Series User Manual Page 5 of 27 Page v
Page 9
3.4 Converting Video in Linux
Make certain your
media files are supported by
the player. Media from
iTunes is NOT supported
Filter: reduce to 320x240
Xvid video encoder
Filter: Mix audio down to stereo
MP3 audio encoder
AVI file container
While the player does not
come with conversion
software for Linux, there are
several free, open source
programs available in Linux
that can do the necessary
transcoding. The three most
powerful commandline
encoders are mencoder,
ffmpeg. and transcode. To
make things easier, you can
use one of the many
available front-ends, although
the simplest may be avidemux (pictured).
Regardless of the tool you use, transcode videos as follows:
Use AVI as the file container.
Encode video using the Xvid codec.
Resize video to 320 x 240 pixels or smaller.
Encode the audio using an MP3 codec.
Reduce the audio to 2 channels if the original was more, such as 5.1.
There may be other transcoding “formulas” that will produce videos that
are compatible with the player. Also note that there are some formats that
will work without conversion. For a full list of supported formats, see
“Technical Specifications” on pg. 27.
Note: Ematic does not provide support to Linux users; however, you can
get help from the Linux community on the Internet via information sites,
forums, and e-mail lists.

4.1 Copying Media Files to your Player
To listen to and/or view media on your player,

make certain that they are, in fact, supported
E4 Series User Manual Page 6 of 27 Page vi

Specifications” on pg. 27. Read about video conversion on pg. 5.
Follow these steps to copy media files under Windows:
1. Switch the player on.
2. Connect the player to your computer with the USB cable.

E-book files are copied to the TXT folder.
6. Disconnect the player from the computer using the safe removal
method on pg. 4.
4.2 Using Windows Media Player 11®’s Sync Function
If you sync your player with Windows Media Player, follow these steps
when initially syncing the device:

computer.
2. Run Windows Media Player. If this is the first time connecting the

Specifications” on pg. 27 to determine which synced songs will be
supported by the player.
5.0 Expanding the Player's Storage
5.1 Preparing MicroSD or “TF” Cards for Use
You can expand the player's capacity by adding a MicroSD card (also

19.0 Formatting the Player
19.1 Understanding File systems
Your player is like a small hard drive of data, and like any such storage
device, it has a file system. If you wish to reformat the player's file system,
you may use any standard formatting tools as long as it is formatted with
FAT32 file system.
19.2 Reformatting Your Player in Windows
Follow these steps to reformat your player:
Connect the player to your computer via
the USB cable.
Double-click My Computer. Find the icon
representing the player, which will
probably appear as Removable Disk.
Right-click the player's icon and select
Format.
Make certain the file system is FAT32;
otherwise the player will not work!
Click Start.
When the Warning message appears, click
OK. Once started DO NOT remove
the USB cable as this may damage
the player!
Once the formatting is complete, you may access the drive through My
Computer.
20.0 TV OUT
You can connect your player to your TV and use it to watch movies, view
photos, or listen to music. To do so, go to System Settings>Other Settings on
the player, then set the TVOUT setting to „ON‟ (from this menu, you can also
select between PAL and NTSC formats, in the USA, this should be NTSC).
Finally, connect the small end of the included RCA cables into the TV-OUT port
on your player, and connect the large end of the cables to your television. Now
when you play media on the device it will stream it to the television. You must
turn „OFF‟ the TVOUT Setting in order to watch videos on the device again.
