5-1. Questions and Answers Additional
Information
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.

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

different file.

5-2. Troubleshooting! Additional
Information
Should any problem continue after you have checked these symptoms,
please contact iRiver customer support.
Solution
Adjust the position of the player and remote control.
Electronic equipment can case interference with the
FM reception. Turn off any nearby electronics or
move the player away from the source.
Earphone and remote control play a role as FM
antenna. Then if not connected, connect earphone
and remote control to the player.
Check the TV/HOLD/LCD switch is set to TV.
In that case, nothing is displayed on the LCD screen
of the player.
What kind of TV do you use?
Set up General->Display->Video Out according to
type supported by your TV or monitor. When you
select NTSC (PAL), the motion picture is normally
played on the TV for NTSC (PAL).
The display is determined by the settings used to
create the AVI file. Please consult your AVI creation
software documentation for settings.
When playing a motion picture, the loading time of a
motion picture is longer than the MP3 or WMA
formats because file size to read is larger than its of
the MP3 or WMA formats. That is not malfunction.
For motion picture file not conforming to product,
audio or video may not be able to play. Also screen
or sound may show erratic behavior. Check the
specification about the file.
Only MP3 and WMA format are supported for motion
picture audio. It may not play if the formats are AC3
or DTS.
AVI files created in higher resolutions than
indicated in the Specifications section may not
playback properly.
