Your MP-50 Player consists of sophisticated and sensitive circuitry.
There may be occasions when the player is affected by static
discharge.
When you move around, your body naturally builds up some
electricity, which can cause what is known as static discharge.
Should your MP-50 Player at any time appear to freeze operation,
and you have already verified that the batteries are properly
installed it is possible the player has been affected by static
discharge.
To re-enable the unit, try removing and then re-installing the
batteries of your player and then switching it on again.
