What is the difference between quick format

❇

and low level format?

The main difference between the two types of format is that low level format will perform an error check, but quick format will not.

Trouble shooting

Why can some WMA format songs on the digital

player not be played?

There are many different music formats for songs

on the 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 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.

How many minutes of MP3/WMA songs can be

stored on the player?

This depends upon the player’s memory capacity,

and how 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:

Please make sure that the USB cable is

(1)

properly connected to the player and the PC.

Please check that there is enough memory

(2)

available to accommodate the files that you wish to transfer.

Lost data?Q:

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?

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 available space on the player, still not be transferred?

The CMOS chip inside the player allocates 16KB

or 32KB 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 my SD card in MP313X cannot be

recognized as a Removable Drive under Windows 2000?

Try downloading Service Pack 4 (SP4) for

Windows 2000 and install it to solve this problem. You may find it via this link:

http://www.microsoft.com /windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp4/ default.asp

Why I can only download a limited quantity of

files into my player while there is plenty of space on it?

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:

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?

Could the following have occurred? :

During an upgrade of the player’s hardware,

(1)

an 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.
