Frequently Asked Questions

How do I perform basic troubleshooting if the unit isn't playing?

Check for common issues like scratches/dirt on the disc, ensuring two batteries are inserted, or waiting an hour if there is visible moisture.

What should I do if I forget the product model and serial number?

The manual suggests checking the back or bottom of the physical unit to locate the printed model and serial numbers for reference.

Is this player compatible with all audio formats?

The unit plays WMA/MP3 files, but it can also handle CD-DA data. If a disc contains both digital and normal audio, selection depends on which type is recorded in the inner part.

How often can the rechargeable batteries be used?

They are usually capable of recharging 300 times, even after numerous recharge cycles.
