VII. Appendix
Trouble shooting
//// Why can some WMA format songs on the digital player not be played?
---- There are many different music formats for songs on the Internet and many of them are in
WMA format. Some of these WMA format songs are subject to DRM (license) copyright
17
Instruction Manual for
Instruction Manual for MP-CL2 digital player
Instruction Manual for Instruction Manual for
protection, which may cause unauthorized copies of some songs to become unplayable. This
system protects the original owner of the songs. Some websites offer songs without license
protection, and you may copy and play them as you wish - just like songs in mp3 format.
However, some websites only offer songs in WMA format with license protection (for
example: www.9sky.com). To play these songs you can only use your PC with a Windows
Media Player which has obtained the correct license protection. (Windows Media Player is a
free Microsoft product that allows you to play WMA streaming media files. You can
download it from many websites.) You cannot copy and play these songs on another PC
without license protection. This prevents the spreading of unauthorized and illegal copies of
songs and protects the song’s copyright owner.
If you have WMA format songs with the corresponding license protection, you still cannot
just copy the songs from your PC to the digital player. You need to open Windows Media
Player first. From its menu select “document”, “open” and open all the WMA songs you want
to copy (if all of them can be played, you can transfer them to your player). Connect the
digital player to your PC via a USB cable, and the screen of the player will display
“Communicating”. Next a portable disk (e.g. K:\) will be displayed. Now click the “portable
device” option on the left hand side of the Windows Media Player. A list of the music to copy
will appear. Select all the songs you want to copy and then click the “copy music” button in
the top left hand corner of the screen. The selected songs can now be transferred to your
player with the required license protection authorization.
//// How many minutes of MP3/WMA songs can be stored on the player?
---- This depends upon the player’s memory capacity, and how much is available for storage.
One minute’s MP3/WMA music occupies approximately 1Mb of space, so if the capacity of
the memory is 128Mb then it can store around 128 minutes of music.
//// Having problems transferring files?
---- (1) Please make sure that the USB cable is properly connected to the player and the PC.
(2) Please check that there is enough memory available to accommodate the files that you
wish to transfer.
//// Lost data?
---- Some data loss can be caused by an unstable power supply during the transfer process. Our
company does take responsibility for any files that are lost or damaged. We strongly
recommend that our customers keep back-up copies of all important files.
//// Why do different songs play at different volumes?
---- Depending on how a song is recorded, and how the volume levels were set at that time,
songs can have different volumes levels and some can sound much louder than others.
//// Why can some files, which are smaller in size than the available space on the player,
18

Instruction Manual for Instruction Manual for
still not be transferred?
---- The CMOS chip inside the player allocates 16KB or 32KB to one memory track. A one
Byte file will take one track. Therefore some files are smaller than the available memory but still cannot be
transferred to the player.
//// My player won’t start, what has happened?
----Could the following have occurred:
(1) During an upgrade of the player’s hardware, an accidental error might have occurred or
the USB cable was unplugged.
(2)The Flash disk has been physically damaged.
(3)An unreliable power supply has resulted in an automatic power off after start up.
