Troubleshooting Tips

The player does not turn on when the PLAY button is pressed?

• Battery may be inserted incorrectly.

• Battery may be empty.

Skipping tracks or bad sound quality?

• Repeat, random or program function

may be activated.

• There may be strong magnetic fields

(e.g. too close to TV) near the unit.

• Low Battery level.

Cannot perform playback?

• LOCK function may be activated.

• There may be no mp3/WMA/audible

tracks in the internal memory.

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

TM

Software” instruction

manual)

• Check if the USB drivers are properly

installed ( Refer to the “USB Driver Installation; MusicMatch Jukebox

TM

Software” instruction manual)

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.

Note:

For better result, we recommend a constant encoded bit rate from 32 to 320kbps for mp3 and 48kbps to 192kbps for Windows Media Audio. Nevertheless, your unit may play tracks encoded in variable bit rate (VBR).
