Tips and Troubleshooting

Problem: Player repeats same tracks or all tracks.

Repeat play is turned on. Press the 

MENU 

button (

m

) to change the play mode.

Problem: Audio distorted at high volume.

Select another DSP setting.

Turn down the volume.

Problem: The audio tracks on my player keep skipping or popping.

You’ll need to re-record the audio track – make sure you close all other applications
on your PC when you record.

Try recording with Error Correction setting turned on.

Problem: Player turns itself off.

Your player turns itself off if you leave it in pause mode or navigation mode for the
duration specified in PowerSave setting.

Problem: Songs aren’t listed in any of the sort modes (Artist, Album, etc.)

You may need to use the profiling options provided on the player to sort the songs
again  .

Problem: The harddisk is corrupted and need to be formatted.

Format your unit by right-clicking on the drive letter or icon of your device and
select FORMAT.

Please go to http://www.rca.com/digitalaudiodownloads for more details.

Problem: Player does not respond to key presses.

If your player stops responding to key presses, you can reset it by pressing 

ON/OFF

for more than 10 seconds. Most of your settings will be preserved; only the settings
that you have changed after your last power off will be lost.

This unit may temporarily cease to function if subjected to electrostatic disturbance.
To resume normal operation, it may be necessary to cycle the power off and back on
or you can reset it by pressing 

ON/OFF 

for more than 10 seconds.

Problem: Player cannot play WMA songs.

Secure music download files must be transferred to your player through the Yahoo
Music Engine

TM

 or the application recommended by your online music download

service  (Note: Services and applications must be Windows Media audio-compliant
and support Digital Rights Management.) (Apple iTunes

TM

 music content is not

supported).

Problem: The player takes a long time to read files in a folder or profile the
contents.

File reading and profiling may take longer if too many files are put in a single folder.
Re-organize your files into a number of folders.
