Cannot playback tracks on the player.

• Make sure audio tracks are encoded in the mp3 or Windows Media formats at supported bitrates. Bitrates support by the player: mp3 – 32 to 320 kbps wma – 48 to 192 kbps

• WMA files may be DRM protected and you don’t have the proper rights ( license) to play the files.

• Check the website and/or application help system of the music download service provider from where the content was purchased from for license acquisition details. For more information on how license acquisition works, go to www .microsoft.com/windowsmedia/drm.

What does the PlaysForSure logo mean?

• PlaysForSure is a new logo program from Microsoft®. Consumers can match the PlaysForSure logo on a large selection of devices and online music stores. If you see the logo, you’ll know your digital media will play for sure. For more information on the Microsoft PlaysForSure program, visit www.PlaysForSure.com.

Note:

Under some rare

circumstances, your unit might report less memory than is available for storing music files. If this happens, format the device to recover all the memory.

Warning:

Formatting the device will

erase all stored contents. Backup all the valuable files before doing so.

• Low Battery level. Replace with new ones.

Cannot perform playback?

• There may be no mp3 tracks in the card or internal memory.

Cannot play tracks on the player?

• Track encoded bit rate may not be between 32 to 320 kbps for mp3 or between 48kbps to 192kbps for Windows Media Audio.

USB display does not appear when connected to computer?

• Check connection between your unit and the computer. ( Refer to the “USB Driver Installation; MusicMatch Jukebox
