STINGRAY 

I created a movie with the conversion program, but the MP3 player 
only shows distorted images and there is no sound. What happened? 

Ensure the resolution is set correctly – 160 x 128! If the player is 
still malfunctioning you have to format the player – CAUTION – all 
data is lost. 

As the cmx® STINGRAY can display e-books I would like to know if 
also PDF files are displayed? 

 

PDF files are not supported by your cmx ® STINGRAY. 

How can I play other games on my MP3 player, which format do I 
need? 

It is not possible to play other games on your cmx® STINGRAY.  

Why does the battery only last 3 hours; the manual/packaging says 
that the player has max. 10 hours playing time? 

That depends on the quality of the music and videos. If the 
music/video files are recorded in high quality the processor has to 
work harder and consumes more energy.  

Furthermore, the format is important. MP3 songs need nearly twice 
the energy of WMA files. 

Tip: If possible, only play WMA files (max. 192Kbps). 

The biggest “electricity hog“ is a high-quality video, the battery 
capacity can come down to 3 hours (the quality is again important), 
before recharging the MP3 player.
