Protecting the hard disk drive during

exercise (Music Charger)

You can use the player during jogging or other physical activities. Music Charger function can effectively be used to prevent sound skipping as well as unexpected damage to the internal hard disk drive during such activities.

How the Music Charger works

In Music Charger mode, the player retrieves about four tracks* from the hard disk, stores them in the temporary memory space called cache, and plays only those tracks in the cache repeatedly without accessing the hard disk any more.

*For MP3 files encoded with 128 kbps, each having an average playing time of about four minutes

Then, the Music Charger indication
