Glossary of Digital Audio Terms  
Bass  
Bass is the low-range area of the sound spectrum where low musical notes and sounds are located.  
Increasing the bass value will make the low vocals and drums more prominent in your music. You can select  
the amount of bass in your music by selecting various equalizer options.  
Bitrate  
Bitrate denotes the number of bits per second used  
by a digital music file. The size and quality of a  
compressed digital audio file is determined by the  
bitrate used when encoding the file. The higher the  
bitrate used, the higher the sound quality, and the  
larger the file size. For example, with MP3, a bitrate  
of 128kbps (128,000 bits per second) is generally  
thought of as “CD quality, and takes up about 1  
megabyte (MB) per minute of music. At a 64kbps  
bitrate, the sound quality is similar to that of an FM  
radio signal, but you can get approximately two  
minutes of music in that same 1MB of storage  
space. CD audio has a bitrate of 1.4Mbits per  
second (1,400,000 bits/second).  
Codec  
Depending on the context and kind of technology involved, codec can be defined as a compressed digital  
audio file format (like MP3, Red Book, etc.), a “coding/decoding” chip used to translate between digital and  
analog transmissions (used in modems), or a compression/decompression algorithm. Codecs compress  
audio data into a file, often for efficient transmission over a network, and then decode it for playback. While  
all the codecs perform similar compression of digital audio, there are differences in the technology.  
The RioVolt SP65 supports the following digital audio codecs:  
• MP3  
• CD Audio (Red Book)

ID3 Tag  
The ID3 tag is the part of the encoded MP3 file that contains information about the digital music file such as  
song title, artist, album title, encoding bitrate, track time duration, and so on. ID3 tag information is  
displayed on the Album/Track title line on the player’s LCD.  
MP3  
MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the most well known compressed  
digital audio file format. This format allows for near “CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size of  
normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an audio track from CD-ROM reduces the file size by approximately a  
12:1 ratio with virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3 compression removes the redundant and  
irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the human ear doesn't hear. This digital sound encoding and  
compression process was developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits and Thomson  
Multimedia.  
Red Book  
Red Book is the name of the original specifications for the compact disc (CD). Developed by Sony and  
Philips, Red Book specifications became standardized requirements for all Audio (CD-DA) CDs and today  
form the basis for almost all CD format specifications. Legend has it that the original document was kept in  
a binder with red covers—hence the name "Red Book".  
"Ripping and Burning”  
Creating MP3 CDs, sometimes referred to as “ripping and burning, refers to extracting audio from a music  
CD (ripping), and encoding it (burning) into a compressed digital audio format like MP3.  
Treble  
Treble notes occupy the higher portion of the sound spectrum. Increasing the treble value will raise the  
levels of the high sounds in your music files. You can select the amount of bass in your music by selecting  
various equalizer options.  
VBR  
Variable Bitrate (VBR) encoding converts tracks at a variable rate, using higher bitrate encoding for  
complex portions and lower bitrate encoding for pauses in songs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)  
What type of CDs can I play with the RioVolt?  
You can play CDs that have MP3 files or you can play regular CD audio music discs.  
Can I mix CD Audio with MP3 files?  
No. You can play either CD Audio discs or CDs with MP3 music content. They cannot be mixed together.  
What is the maximum number of songs I can put on a single CD?  
You can store up to 999 music tracks per CD depending on the size of the music tracks and the available  
space on your CD-R/RW. The RioVolt can only recognize up to 630 directories and files (e.g., If you have 20  
albums on a CD, only 620 files can be recognized).  
Will the RioVolt play Variable Bitrate (VBR) files?  
There is no standard for VBR files, so it cannot be guaranteed that every encoding software package will  
properly function with the RioVolt. However, most VBR MP3 music files will play properly on your RioVolt.  
Where is the battery indicator on my RioVolt?  
The battery indicator on the RioVolt is located in the top-right corner of the display. The segments in the  
battery icon show the remaining battery power. The illumination of all three segments indicates a fully  
charged battery. Non-illuminated segments indicate a run down battery. The battery indicator blinks when  
less than 20% of the charge on the battery remains.  
What kind of skip protection does the RioVolt use?  
The RioVolt uses Electronic Shock Protection (ESP) to help prevent skipping during playback. When playing  
MP3s the player provides 120 seconds of skip protection. When playing Audio CDs the player provides 40  
seconds of skip protection. ESP can be turned off when playing Audio CDs. ESP remains on during all MP3  
playback.  
How does Electronic Shock Protection work?  
When the player starts, a buffer is filled with the track data. The CD stops spinning, and the tracks continue  
to play from memory, which helps conserve battery life. When about 30 seconds of time remains in the  
buffer, the CD will again spin up and refill the buffer. During this time, if the RioVolt is jarred so that the

buffer cannot be filled (e.g., when jogging or riding a bicycle) then the player may begin to skip. The buffer  
must be full in order to provide skip-free performance.  
How much playtime can I get from 2 AA batteries?  
Playtime varies with battery type and music content. However, as a general guideline the following applies:  
Playback Format Hours of Playtime  
(approximate)  
Audio CD (ESP on)  
7 hours  
9 hours  
Audio CD  
(ESP off)  
MP3 CD  
15 hours  
The CD seems to stop spinning during playback. Is this normal?  
Yes. It is normal for the CD to stop spinning during playback. Stopping the CD is part of the skip protection  
and battery life management systems. When the CD is stopped, the RioVolt conserves power and plays  
songs from memory.

Try cleaning the lens with a cotton swab.  
• If you are using a Macintosh to burn your CDs, make sure the .mp3 extension  
is at the end of each file. Some versions of Mac software do not include this  
extension, and these files cannot be read by the RioVolt.
