Cannot play tracks on the player?

Track encoded bit rate may not be between 32 to 192 kbps for MP3 or between 64kbps to 128kbps for Windows Media Audio.

Note: For better result, we recommend a constant encoded bit rate from 32 to 320kbps for MP3 and 48kbps to 128kbps for Windows Media audio. Nevertheless, your unit may play tracks encoded in variable bit rate (VBR).

USB display does not appear when connected to computer.

Check connection between your unit and the computer. (Refer to Software Instruction Manual)

Check if USB drivers are properly installed (Refer to Software Instruction Manual)

The player does not respond to key operations?

Turn the player off by removing the batteries. Reinsert the batteries properly and turn the player on again to resume normal operations.

• Check if the memory card inserted is in correct format.
