The number of times the battery can be recharged before it is used up is approximately
500 times. This number may vary, depending on the conditions under which you use the
player.
The battery indicator on the display is only an estimate. For example, one section of
black in the indicator will not always indicate exactly one-fourth of the battery’s charge.

The control buttons on the player become inoperative while it is connected to a
computer.
If you do not intend to use the player for over half a year, charge the battery at least once
during this time to maintain battery performance.
Some USB devices connected to the computer may interfere with proper operation of
the player.
We do not guarantee battery recharging using a personally assembled/modified
computer.
If the computer enters a power saving mode, such as the Sleep or Hibernation mode,
while the player is connected via the USB cable, the player’s battery will not be charged.
Instead, the player continues to draw power from the battery, discharging it.
Do not leave the player connected for extended periods to a laptop computer that is not
connected to AC power, since the player may discharge the computer’s battery.
While the player is connected to a computer, do not turn on, restart, wake up from sleep
mode, or shut down the computer. These operations may cause the player to
malfunction. Disconnect the player from the computer before performing these
operations.
Heat may build up in the player while charging. This is not malfunction.

What are Format and Bit Rate?
What is audio format?
etns
H
Mneu
oem
Audio format refers to the method used to import audio data from the Internet
or audio CDs to a computer, and then save it as an audio file.
Common formats include MP3 and WMA, etc.
Idne
MP3: MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer3) is a common audio compression
technology developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International
Organization for Standardization).
x
MP3 can compress audio files to about 1/10 the size of standard CD audio files.
WMA: WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a common audio compression
technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. The WMA format produces
the same sound quality as that of the MP3 format with a smaller file size.
AAC: AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a common audio compression
technology developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International
Organization for Standardization). The AAC format produces the same sound
quality as that of the MP3 format, with a smaller file size.
Linear PCM: Linear PCM is an audio recording format without digital
compression. You can achieve the same quality as CD music by recording with
this format.
What is copyright protection?
Certain music files or video files, etc., that you purchase from a music
download service site, etc., may apply access control technologies, such as
encryption, to limit usage and duplication of material, in accordance with
copyright laws.
What is bit rate?
Bit rate refers to the amount of data used to store each second of audio,
expressed in kbps (kilo bits per second), such as 64 kbps. Generally, higher bit
rates provide better sound quality, but require more storage space for the same
length of audio.

Useful Facts
ꢇꢄ
What is the relationship between bit rate, sound quality, and storage size?
Generally, higher bit rates provide better sound quality, but require more
storage space for the same length of audio, so you can store fewer songs on the
player.
C
T
otn
albeof
etns
Lower bit rates enable you to store more songs, but at a lower sound quality.
H
Mneu
oem
Note
If you import a song from a CD to your computer at a low bit rate, you cannot improve
the song’s sound quality by selecting a high bit rate when further transferring the song
from the computer to the player.
Idne
x
What is video format?
Video format refers to the method used when importing video and audio data
to a computer and saving it as a video file.
Common formats include MPEG-4 and AVC, etc.
MPEG-4: MPEG-4 refers to Moving Picture Experts Group phase 4, developed
by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for
Standardization). The compression format is for video and audio data.
AVC: AVC refers to Advanced Video Coding, developed by the MPEG working
group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). It enables
reproduction of more vivid images at a lower bit rate. AVC files include four
profiles, and “AVC Baseline Profile” is one of them. AVC format is based on the
MPEG-4 AVC standard of the ISO (International Organization for
Standardization), and since AVC is standardized as the MPEG-4 Part 10
Advanced Video Coding, it is commonly referred to as MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 or
H.264/AVC.
WMV: WMV (Windows Media Video) is a video compression format
developed by Microsoft Corporation. It was built upon MPEG-4, achieves a
high compression rate, and supports copy control by DRM.
What is photo format?
Photo format refers to the method used when importing images to a computer
and saving them as image files. JPEG is one example of a commonly used
format.
JPEG: JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a common image
compression format developed by the JPEG. JPEG can compress an image file
to between 1/10 and 1/100 the size of original image files.
