A-B repeat fails  
This function only works when a music le is being played.  
After the device is connected to the computer, there is not a player icon  
on the computer.  
Connect correctly to the computer via USB cable. Make sure that the device has been correctly  
installed by checking the “device manager” of the computer.  
Does it support Win 98 OS?  
No, it does not. It only supports Win 98 SE but a driver is required. Please go to the download sec-  
tion to obtain a Win 98 SE driver and follow the provided instruction for driver installation.  
How do I copy songs from a CD or my PC to the player?  
Use Windows Media Player, Music Match, or a similar program to convert your CD’s into MP3 or  
WMA formats to a folder on your PC, then Drag and Drop les from the folder to the MMC/SD  
card using either a card reader or directly to the player when it is connected with the USB cable.  
Refer to the Help Files in Windows Media Player, etc. for additional assistance.  
Why I’m not able to play WMA songs on the player?  
The player supports MP3 and WMA le formats. There are 2 possible causes for the player not  
playing a WMA le.  
1) The WMA le is recorded with a bitrate less than or equal to 32kbps,  
2) The WMA le has copy-protected enabled (DRM protection) but was not transferred through  
Windows Media Player. The le types (WMA, MP3) will scroll at the end of the song title on  
the screen when being played.  
Does it support DRM 10?  
No, it only supports DRM 9.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The song skips or does not play at all, but the song title shows. What is the cause?  
There are several reasons why a song (le) can not play.  
1) The le may be corrupted when it was converted from the CD or when it was copied over  
to the player during the transfer process. Make sure that the complete song (le) is copied  
to the player before disconnecting the USB cable. When copying is complete, Click on the  
“SafelyRemove Hardware” icon in the tray on the bottom right hand side of your desktop  
and wait for the window that will state you can safely remove the drive. This needs to be  
completed prior to removing the device from the USB cable or removing the USB cable.  
2) The song may be copy protected (DRM) and you do not have the right to play it or you do  
not transfer the song to the player through Windows Media Player. You can place your mouse  
pointer over a MP3 or WMA icon or song title for the le on your PC and a window will open  
with information on the le (or you can right-click on the song le and select “Properties”).  
If the problem persists, delete the le from the player or format the card and re-copy the new  
songs to it following the procedures in the manual.  
3) If you used Windows Media Player check (Tools, Options, etc.) that the “Copy settings” that  
the songs (les) were not set to “Copy Protect Music” when they were converted to WMA or  
MP3 from your CD’s to your PC.  
How do I use the SD Card? Do I need to turn off the device to remove or insert  
the card?  
The player should be turned off prior to removing or inserting a SD Card. Card damage or le cor-  
ruption could occur if these procedures are not followed.  
When inserting the card, check the card icon above the card slot on the player that shows how the  
card should to be inserted.  
Sometimes I have a little difcult inserting the USB cable, what is the problem?  
The USB cable needs to be inserted correctly; there is a slot alignment key on the male connector  
that inserts into female connector of the player. DO NOT force this plug into the slot; it could  
cause damage to the device and/or the PC that is being connected to (and could void the warranty).  
I want to remove my les from the SD card, should I just delete them?  
Yes, you can just delete them or you can format the card using FAT32. Go to “My Computer”, put  
your mouse pointer over the correct drive letter for the player and right click > Format > choose  
FAT32 and then format.  
I am not able to put more songs onto it though it has more capacity left. (For  
example 1 GB SD card)  
Please format the SD card in FAT32 format. It is because the format of FAT16 has a limitation of  
the les supported.
