Glossary of Digital Audio Terms
Bass
Bass is the particular low-range area of the sound spectrum where low musical notes and sounds are
located. Increasing the bass value will make the low vocals and drums more prominent in your music.
Adjusting this level too high can cause distortion at high volumes in some music files.
Bitrate
Bitrate denotes the number of bits per second used
to represent a digital music file. The size and
quality of a compressed digital audio file is
determined by the bitrate used when encoding the
file. The higher the bitrate used, the higher the
sound quality, and the larger the file size. For
example, with MP3, a bitrate of 128kbps (128,000
bits per second) is generally thought of as “CD
quality”, and takes up about 1 megabyte (MB) per
minute of music. At a 64kbps bitrate, the sound
quality is similar to that of an FM radio signal, but
you can get approximately two minutes of music in
that same 1MB of storage space. CD audio has a
bitrate of 1.4Mbits per second (1,400,000 bits/second).
13
Codec
Depending on the context and kind of technology involved, codec can be defined as a compressed digital
audio file format (like MP3, WMA, and so on), a “coding/decoding” chip used to translate between digital
and analog transmissions (used in modems), or a compression/decompression algorithm. Codecs compress
audio data into a file, often for efficient transmission over a network, and then decode it for playback. While
all the codecs perform similar compression of digital audio, there are differences in the technology.
The RioVolt supports the following digital audio codecs:
•MP3
•WMA
•CD Audio (Red Book)

Glossary of Digital Audio Terms

Encoding, or “ripping”
Encoding, sometimes referred to as “ripping and encoding”, refers to extracting audio from a music CD
(ripping), and converting it (encoding) into a compressed digital audio format like MP3 or WMA.
ID3 Tag
The ID3 tag is the part of the encoded MP3 file that contains information about the digital music file such as
song title, artist, album title, encoding bitrate, track time duration, and so on.
MP3
MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the most well known compressed
digital audio file format. This format allows for near “CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size of
normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an audio track from CD-ROM reduces the file size by approximately a
12:1 ratio with virtually no perceptible loss in quality. This digital sound encoding and compression process
was developed by the Fraunhofer Institut fur Integrierte Schaltungen and Thomson Multimedia. MP3
compression removes the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the human ear doesn't
hear. The MP3 encoding process is well suited for the transfer of high quality audio files with small file size
over the Internet.
Red Book
The specification for audio (CD-DA) compact discs.
Treble
Treble is the high notes of the sound spectrum. Increasing the treble value will raise the levels of the high
sounds in your music files.
VBR
Variable Bitrate (VBR) encoding converts tracks at a variable rate, using higher bitrate encoding for
complex portions and lower bitrate encoding for pauses in songs.
WMA
Windows Media Audio (WMA) is the compressed audio format created by Microsoft as an alternative to MP3.
WMA offers greater file compression than MP3, enabling you to store more music on your PC or writable
CDs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What type of CDs can I play with the RioVolt?
You can play CDs that have MP3 and/or WMA music files or you can play regular CD audio music discs.
Can I mix CD Audio with MP3 and/or WMA files?
No. You can play either CD Audio discs or CDs with MP3 (and/or WMA) music content. They cannot be
mixed together.
Can I put both MP3 and WMA files on the same CD?
Yes. You can play a CD with both MP3 and WMA files and can choose tracks however you like.
What are the differences between MP3 and WMA?
If you use the WMA format instead of the MP3 format, your files are at about one half the size. Since WMA
offers a smaller file size than MP3, it enables you to store more music on your PC or on your writable CD.
WMA files are exclusive to the PC.
What is the maximum number of songs I can put on a single CD?
You can store up to 999 music tracks per CD depending on the size of the music tracks and the available
space on your CD-R/RW.
Will the RioVolt play Variable Bitrate (VBR) files?
There is no standard for VBR files, so we cannot guarantee that every encoding software package will
properly function with the RioVolt. However, most VBR MP3 music files will play properly on your RioVolt.
Where is the battery indicator on my RioVolt?
The battery indicator on the RioVolt is located in the top-right corner of the display. The segments in the
battery icon show the remaining battery power. All three segments illuminated = a fully charged battery.
Segments not illuminated = a run down battery. The battery indicator blinks when less than 20% battery
life remains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What kind of skip protection is there on the RioVolt?
The RioVolt uses Electronic Shock Protection to help prevent skipping during playback. When playing MP3/
WMA files, you get up to 960 seconds of skip protection. When playing Red Book Audio CDs, you have the
option of up to 160 seconds of skip protection.
How does skip protection work?
When the player first starts, a buffer is filled with the track data. The CD stops spinning, and the tracks
continue to play out of memory, which helps conserve battery life. When about 30 seconds of time remains
in the buffer, the CD will again spin up and refill the buffer. Note that during this time, if the RioVolt is jarred
so that the buffer cannot be filled — for example, when jogging or riding a bicycle — then the player may
begin to skip. You will need to let the buffer fill in order to have skip-free performance.
How much playtime can I get from 2 AA batteries?
Playtime varies with battery type and music content. However, as a guideline the following applies: MP3/
WMA CDs have up to 15 hours of music playtime. Audio CDs will have up to 9 hours of playtime with ESP on
and 12 hours with ESP off.
The CD seems to stop spinning during playback. Is this normal?
Yes, it is normal for the CD to stop spinning during playback. This is part of the skip protection and battery
life protection. When the CD is stopped, the Riovolt plays songs from memory. This serves as absolute
shock protection during this time, as the disc is not even spinning.

I am only able to fit
10-15 songs on a CDR or CD-RW for my
RioVolt.
After creating a CD

RioVolt will not read it
properly.
I am unable to power

happens when using
new batteries or an
AC power adapter
(not included).
P
If you are only able to fit 10-15 songs on a CD-R or CD-RW for use in your
RioVolt, then it is likely you are creating the CD in audio or.wav format instead of
data format. You should be able to fit hundreds of tracks onto one CD. Consult
the documentation that came with your burning software for further assistance
with this.
If the RioVolt is having trouble reading a CD created using DirectCD, make sure
that the CD is formatted with compression OFF. If compression is ON, the RioVolt
will not read the tracks properly. Check the documentation that came with your
burning software for further assistance with this.
Be sure that the LOCK/UNLOCK switch on the RioVolt is set to UNLOCK. If the
LOCK/UNLOCK switch is in the LOCK position, you will be unable to power up the
unit. Place the LOCK/UNLOCK Switch to the UNLOCK position and press the PLAY/
PAUSE button to power up the RioVolt.

Troubleshooting
ProblemSolution
My RioVolt gives a
“No Disk” error
message when
spinning up.
I can’t play my WMA
files.
To resolve the “No Disk” error message, try the following:
•Make sure the CD is seated properly in the tray.
•See if a standard audio CD functions properly.
•Try a CD created with standard MP3/WMA files encoded at 128kbps, NOT
variable bitrate (VBR) files.
•Try burning to a different media or brand of media.
•Try burning a CD from another CD burner.
•See if burning at a slower rate (say 2x or slower) makes the files load properly.
•Try closing the CD volume when you create the disc.
•Try cleaning the lens with a cotton swab.
•If you are using a Macintosh to burn your CDs, make sure the.mp3 extension
is at the end of each file. Some versions of Mac software do not include this
extension, and these files cannot be read by the RioVolt.
The RioVolt does not read Secure WMA files. Secure WMA files are created to
prevent theft and illegal copying of the files.
