INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the world of Rio! The Rio PMP300 plays your
favorite audio soundtracks formatted with the popular MP3
standard. This chapter introduces you to the MP3 audio
technology, and provides a general overview on how to use Rio.

♦ ♦ WHAT IS MP3?
♦ ♦ THE RIO PMP300 PLAYER
♦ ♦ HOW TO USE RIO
♦ ♦ MP3 INTERNET SITES

WHAT IS MP3?

MP3 stands for MPEG 1 layer 3. It is an efficient way to store
high-quality music or other audio content on your computer.
MP3 files can be 1/4 to 1/20 the size of a commercial CD audio
file—yet retain a high sound quality. MP3 files usually have the
extension .mp3, and can be downloaded from the Internet, or can
be legally made for personal use from your favorite CDs that you

purchased.

Warning!—It is illegal to encode MP3 files for trade or sale unless
you have the expressed and explicit permission of the copyright

holder(s).

HE RIO PMP300 PLAYER

T

The Rio PMP300 player stores your favorite MP3 files in its flash
memory so that they can be played anywhere you want to go.
Rio’s solid-state design makes it impervious to the skipping and
jitter experienced with portable CD players. Rio is lightweight,
and about the size of a pager. It is perfect for activities like

jogging or walking, hiking—just about any activity you like to
do.

OW DOES RIO WORK?

H

The Rio PMP300 player is easy to use. It takes only three steps to
start playing your favorite music titles using Rio:

CD.

2. Use the Rio Manger to download your MP3 files into Rio’s
flash memory.

3. Put your headphones on and press the Play button on the
Rio PMP300 player to listen to great digital sound!

The following chapters go into greater detail on how to work
with Rio. Soon you can start taking your favorite personal, and
legally-obtained MP3 files anywhere you go.

The following sections describe the Rio player control buttons,
and how to download MP3 files into the Rio flash memory.

Rio Control Buttons

Your Rio player has buttons that control playback modes, and an
LED display to indicate the
current mode and status.

Before downloading your first
MP3 files into Rio, familiarize
yourself with how the various Rio
control buttons are organized,
and what functions these buttons
control.

The Rio MP3 playback control
buttons are located on the front
face and top of the Rio player
(see Figures A and B). The
playback buttons are arranged in
a circular dial, and are familiar to
cassette or VCR controls.

There is no On-Off switch. Rio is
turned on by pressing the Play
button once. Total memory, in
Megabytes (MB) is always
displayed when Rio is turned on.
If there are any MP3 files loaded,
the first track begins to play automatically.

Rio Playback Dial Control Buttons

Basic playback functions are controlled using the playback dial
buttons. The playback dial is the nerve center of the Rio player:
you control On-Off in addition to basic Play/Pause/Stop—and
other functions. Refer to the following figure.

Downloading Files Into Rio

Your Rio PMP300 player comes with 32 megabytes (MB) of
internal flash memory to store your audio tracks—about 60
minutes of playing time at an MP3 bitrate of 64Kbps.

For an additional cost, you can purchase external flash memory
cards that can increase your total playing time. Contact Diamond
Customer Service to purchase external flash memory upgrades.
(see page 19)

Note—Actual playback time may vary according to the amount of
flash memory and the quality level used to create the MP3 files.
Quality level is controlled by the software used to make MP3
files. See

Making MP3 Files, page 16.

TROUBLESHOOTING

4

This section provides some useful information regarding setup and
operation of your Rio PMP300.

The computer displays a message that “no communications port” was found, or
that it “cannot find the Rio player.”.

First, check the following:

♦ make sure the parallel port adapter and cables are properly connected
♦ check the battery charge using the charge indicator on the Rio LED
♦ verify that the parallel port is enabled and working using the Windows

98/95 Device Manager

♦ try removing other parallel port devices
♦ check and see if the parallel port is enabled in your system BIOS

Important—Before making any changes to your system BIOS, consult your
motherboard manufacturer’s user guide.

The AA battery inside Rio drains even if I haven’t used the Rio player some time.
What causes this?

The Rio player always uses some battery power. When Rio is turned “off,” it
actually is in a low-power mode. If you know you will not use Rio for a while,
remove the AA battery to preserve its charge.

Can I use any flash memory card to increase my Rio player’s memory?

No. The Rio PMP300 uses a 3.3 volt (v) flash ROM memory card only. Do not use
5v cards. You can purchase the correct memory upgrade for your Rio PMP300

player from Diamond Customer Service (1-800-4-M
Online Store at www.diamomdmm.com/rio for convenient online shopping. Flash
memory cards may also be purchased from retail electronic stores.

ULTIMEDIA), or the Diamond

Why can’t I play the tracks I have loaded on an external flash memory card before
tracks already loaded on Rio’s internal memory?

Rio always plays tracks that are loaded into its internal memory first; then it
plays any tracks loaded on an external flash memory card.

Why don’t the buttons on Rio respond when pressed?

Check the Hold switch (see description, page 13). Check battery charge.

When downloading an MP3 file to Rio, I get a message that says I cannot
download a first generation, copyrighted file. Why do I receive this message?

The file you attempted to download is a duplication of a copyrighted file.
Copyright laws prohibit serial copying of such files. Rio will not allow you to

Troubleshooting 17

18

download files that have been duplicated in this manner. Obtain a legal copy of
the MP3 file you want to load into Rio to avoid this message in the future.

General Troubleshooting Tips

♦ Make sure your battery has adequate charge
♦ If you try to load more than 32MB of songs into the Rio memory, it will

automatically drop the entire last song. For example, if you attempt to load
a 34MB song into Rio’s internal memory, it will not load; if you load 4
10MB (40MB total) songs only the first 3 will load.

♦ There is no way to change the song play order from the Rio player itself;

but you can set to Random play—this mode will play until you shut Rio off.
To change the play order, use the Rio Manager software to place tracks in
the order you want.

♦ You cannot download first generation, copyrighted files.

Note—Troubleshooting information on the Rio software is found

inside the online Help, Troubleshooting section. To get help on the
Rio software, click Start > Programs > Rio PMP300 > Online
