The sound cuts out when the player skips.

If the player is shaken in a sudden or violent manner, or shaken excessively, skipping may occur. Under normal circumstances, skipping will not occur. Please carry and handle the player under normal circumstances (i.e., without excessive shaking).

It takes a long time to load a CD.

Using Multi-sessioned or Packet Written CD may affect the loading time rather than using Single sessioned CD because the data is scattered in the CD.

To reduce the loading time, it is recommended you to burn in Single- session. You may contact Customer Service if it takes longer than 1 minute to load a single-sessioned CD or a Standard Audio CD.

It always stops after playing one song.

Check that the "Auto Pause" feature is turned off. Also check that your player is not set to “SFL 1” mode.

I hear a 'hiccup' sound while the song is playing.

There are two kinds of ASF files, Audio and Video. The SlimX 450 only support Audio ASF file formats.

Is the sound better if I convert an MP3 file into WAV?

MP3 is a compressed a audio format. Audio quality is lost when converting sound into MP3 format. Changing MP3 to WAV files will not restore data lost in compression and will therefore not improve audio quality
