Using general batteries

Open the battery cover on the inside of the player. Insert batteries(AA size x 2ea) matching + and - and close the battery cover. Manganese batteries are not recommended as they tend to reduce playback time. For optimum playback time, Alkaline batteries are recommended. Do not mix rechargeable batteries with regular batteries.

If battery leaks, wipe off any residue in the battery compartment and insert new batteries. Do not recharge a normal battery. CAUTION! How long does Anti-Shock last? With MP3 files, Anti-Shock lasts up to 480 seconds. With Audio CD, you can set it up to 40 or 160 seconds. Why does mechanism noise occur? When loading a CD or searching music, CD Pick-up makes noise moving at high speed. This is not a malfunction. But if you hear mechanism noise through earphones or hear excessive noise from the player, contact iRiver Customer Service. Does using CD's created on a computer reduce the life of the Lens? There is no connection between using a disk created on a home computer and the lifetime of the lens. Why doesn't the player recognize a CD created at high speed? In general, it is recommended to record the CD with 1~2 level lower than the highest speed if you are experiencing playback difficulties. PLAYER 36

How do I copy MP3 files on to a CD?

You need to record MP3 files onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc to play in the iMP-700 Series. In general, there are two kinds of blank CDs. CD-R (CD Recordable): Recordable but not erasable. CD-RW (CD-ReWriteable) : Recordable and can be used again after erasing. There are several ways to burn a CD. A CD is created in sessions. Single session: Close session after burning once. Multi session: Do not close session after burning. More data can be written to the disk later. This iRiver player can play packet-written CD RW’s as well. What do I need to burn MP3 files? You need a CD recorder, recording software program, and a blank CD. For details, refer to the “SUPPORT” at iRiver's homepage. How do I make a CD from a tape or record? To convert the tape's information into CD requires many items, including: A player to play the tape or record, a stereo cable to attach the player to your computer, and third party recording software to capture and edit the audio. Connect the stereo cable from the source to the line-in input on your computer sound card; then use the third party software to record and edit the audio on the tape or record. Once the music is recorded onto your computer, use a program to copy the music in Audio or MP3 format to a CD. I recorded an MP3 CD but it only see less than 20 songs. The CD was probably created as an Audio CD’s will only hold about 15~20 songs. To record a CD full of MP3’s be sure to set your CD creation software to record Data. The player can’t read songs and I get 'No disc' message. CD readability depends on several factors: 1. CD-Media 2. The Burning/Recording Speed 3. The CD surface When you create a CD, burning speed does matter as well as CD surface. When you create a CD at a high speed, the data writing may not be reliable. In that case, it is recommended to create a CD at a lower speed or to use brand name media. Can I add songs to the CD I already burned? Using multi-session or packet writing allows you to add songs to the CD. 38

How do I listen to a spot on the track I last listened to?

The iMP-700 Series provide a RESUME function. Go to Function, General and enter into RESUME menu. You can set Track Time or Track #. The iMP-700 Series can remember the last 10 CDs you played. How many playlists can the iMP-700 Series play? The iMP-700 Series can play up to 20 playlists( .m3u) How many songs can the iMP-700 Series play? The iMP-700 Series can recognize 999 songs and 255 directories including subdirectory. Does the iMP-700 Series play “ .ra”and “ .wav” formats? The playable formats on the iMP-700 Series are MP3, ASF and WMA files. RA and WAV formats can not be played in this player. Supporting formats such as “ .ra” and “ .wav” are under consideration for the future. I don't see the title and it only displays Audio Track. The iMP-700 Series can display the information that the song contains. With MP3 files, the tag information may not be correct and with Standard Audio CD, it displays only Audio Track. To see the song title, you need to burn the CD using CD-TEXT function. See your CD Creation software. The sound cuts out when the player skips. If the player is shaken in a sudden or violent manner, or shaken excessively, skipping may occur. Under normal circumstances, skipping will not occur. Please carry and handle the player under normal circumstances (i.e., without excessive shaking). It takes a long time to load a CD. Using Multi-sessioned or Packet Written CD may affect the loading time rather than using Single sessioned CD because the data is scattered in the CD. To reduce the loading time, it is recommended you to burn in Single- session. You may contact Customer Service if it takes longer than 1 minute to load a single-sessioned CD or a Standard Audio CD. It always stops after playing one song. Check that the "Auto Pause" feature is turned off. Also check that your player is not set to “SFL 1” mode. I hear a 'hiccup' sound while the song is playing. Check the status of the file. What is likely happening is that the file is corrupted, especially if you hear the same sound in the same spot. In this case, it is recommended you to record the file again or download a different file. Can I change the playing order? The iMP-700 Series support m3u file lists. Also, the Program function allows you to select your preferred songs. I can't hear an ASF file I recorded onto a disk. There are two kinds of ASF files, Audio and Video. The iMP-700 Series only support Audio ASF file formats. Is the sound better if I convert an MP3 file into WAV? MP3 is a compressed a audio format. Audio quality is lost when converting sound into MP3 format. Changing MP3 to WAV files will not restore data lost in compression and will therefore not improve audio quality 40

What kind of media can the iMP-700 Series support?

Standard Audio CD (8Cm, 12 Cm), CD-R, CD-RW DATA CD with MP3, ASF and WMA. The iMP-700 Series also support Mixed CD (Data Track + Audio Track), CD-Extra (Audio Track + Data Track), Multi-sessioned and packet written CD. What is VBR? VBR is "Variable Bit Rate". Some MP3 encoders support VBR. When enabled, the compressor will use a bit rate that will fit the actual passage. If it is a complex part, having much more variation in the sound, it will use a high bit rate. If there is less variation in sound, it will use a lower bit rate. Usually, the average bit rate will not be as high as a same-quality MP3 with CBR (Constant Bit Rate). However, there is shortcoming that it's hard to keep track of the actual position that may not be favorable when studying language. 42 Should any problem continue after you have checked these symptoms, please contact iRiver sales representatives.
