Solving the problem about the Boot Failure
Precautions for Hard Disk Drive
11
11
When powering on, the player checks
several internal configurations.
If one of these configurations is not
working properly, a Boot Failure
message may appear.
See the following pages for steps to
resolve a Boot Failure."
The PMP player uses an internal Hard Disk Drive to store your data.
There should be no need to format or otherwise service the drive.
iRiver recommends carefully reading the troubleshooting section of this manual
and viewing updated online documentation before attempting to format the
device. Only under recommendation from iRiver should the drive be formatted.
If attempting to format the drive in the PMP for any reason, please observe the
following precautions:
The PMP-140 can not be formatted using Windows XP or Windows 2000.
These operating systems can not format drives over 32 GB using the FAT32
file system. This is a limitation of these operating systems and not a fault of
the device itself.
The PMP-140 player can be formatted using Windows 98 SE or Windows
Me. Always choose the FAT32 file system when formatting the player.
The PMP-120 player can be formatted using Windows XP, 2000, Me, and 98
SE. Always choose the FAT32 file system when formatting the player.
Should formatting become necessary, be sure to always use the FAT32 file
system. Under no circumstance should the player be formatted using the
NTFS file system. This will cause the player to become unusable.
The player can not be formatted on non-Windows computers (such as Mac).
Attempting to do so may cause the player to become unusable

the player may not boot and the file must be replaced. Please
download the version of the System File that matches your
firmware version from the iRiver web site.

5-2. Questions and Answers
Additional
Information
What is VBR?
VBR is "Variable Bit Rate". Some MP3 encoders support VBR. When
enabled, the compressor will use a bit rate that will fit the actual
passage. If it is a complex part, having much more variation in the
sound, it will use a high bit rate. If there is less variation in sound, it will
use a lower bit rate. Usually, the average bit rate will not be as high as a
same-quality MP3 with CBR (Constant Bit Rate). However, there is
shortcoming that it's hard to keep track of the actual position that may
not be favorable when studying language.

Information
Should any problem continue after you have checked these symptoms,
please contact iRiver customer support.
Solution
Adjust the position of the player and remote control
(Option).
Electronic equipment can cause interference with
the FM reception. Turn off any nearby electronics or
move the player away from the source.
The earphones and remote control (Option) are the
antenna and reception will be poor unless one or
the other are attached to the device.
Check the TV/HOLD/LCD switch is set to TV.
When set to TV, no image will display on the LCD
screen.
What kind of TV do you use?
Often display errors on TV are caused by an
improper setting. Disconnect the player from your
TV and change the NTSC/PAL setting in the Setup
menu. See page 87 for details.
The display is determined by the settings used to
create the AVI file. Please consult your AVI creation
software documentation for settings.
When playing a video file, the loading time of a
motion picture is longer than the MP3 or WMA
formats because file size to read is larger than MP3
or WMA files.
The video file may not conform to the specifications
of the PMP.
Consult your video source and the specifications
section of this manual for details.
AVI files created in higher resolutions than
indicated in the Specifications section may not
