flash memory, a quick format is recommended. If your
player behaves abnormally over and over again, we
recommended the low-level format.

Appendix
Trouble Shooting
Why can some WMA format songs on the digital player
Q:
not be played?
There are many different music formats for songs on the
A:
Internet and many of them are in WMA format. Some of
these WMA format songs are subject to DRM (license)
copyright 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
Figure 37Figure 36
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.napster.com
and www.musicmatch.com). To play these songs you can
only use your PC with a Windows Media Player that 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. F:\) 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.
Press [ ] or [ ] button to select Figure 38, you can set
the power off timeout. The player will turned off
automatically if no operation is performed for the time
that is specified by the user.
Figure 38
Note:
•
This feature is disabled when the play is in playing
music/picture browsing / E-book mode.
How many minutes of MP3/WMA songs can be stored on
Q:
the player?
This depends upon the player’s memory capacity, and how
A:
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?Q:
A:
Please make sure that the USB cable is properly
1)
connected to the player and the PC.
Please check that there is enough memory available to
2)
accommodate the files that you wish to transfer.
11
Lost data?Q:
A:
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?Q:
A:
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
Q:
available space on the player, still not be transferred?
The CMOS chip inside the player allocates 16KB or 32KB
A:
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.
Why I can only download a limited quantity of files into
Q:
my player while there is plenty of space on it?
A:
The number of files you can store in the ROOT directory of
a local disk largely depends on the length of file names. The
longer the file name is, the fewer files. A maximum number
of 512 files are allowed to be stored in the ROOT directory.
Note that this restriction only applies to the ROOT directory.
Create as many folders as you need to store more files.
How do I create new folders in my MP3 player?Q:
A:
Connect the MP3 player to your PC using the supplied USB
cable. In the Removable Disk window, select File > New >
Folder.
My player won’t start, what has happened?Q:
A:
Could the following have occurred?
During an upgrade of the player’s hardware, an
1)
accidental error might have occurred or the USB cable
was unplugged.
The Flash disk has been physically damaged.2)
An unreliable power supply has resulted in an
3)
automatic power off after start up.
