My computer does not recognize my player. Answer: (1) Make sure the player is powered on. If it is off, the computer will not be able to find the player; (2) Make sure the player is connected to computer. (Refer to 1.4.1 for connecting player to 57 / 60 computer); (3) When using Windows 98SE, install the USB driver first. After installation, restart the computer.

Question 2. When I try to disconnect the USB device, I keep on getting “The device „Generic volume‟ cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later.” message, what should I do? Answer: Close any program that might be accessing data on the player, including Windows® Explorer. If it does not work, close all programs and wait for another 20 seconds, then try the green arrow icon again. If it still does not work, you should shut down the player and disconnect the USB cable. Question 3. I find new file names and folder names that I never created before or they have strange gibberish names. Answer: Most likely, the player‟s file allocation table (FAT) has been corrupted. This might be due to the player shutting down (due to low battery power) while reading or writing to your computer by the USB connection. Windows and Macintosh often write extra files to the hard disk such as finder.def or System volume info. These are normal and will not do any harm to the player. Question 4. I used my player to transfer files back and forth between different computers. Will defragmenting the player hard disk do any harm to it? Answer: Defragmenting the player hard disk may be useful after having transferred many files to and from the player. It is never harmful to use the defragment on the player.

Question 7. During power on, why does the TV will have a short flashing, blue screen or screensaver? Answer: This is normal, when the system initializes, it will setup the corresponding parameters so it can output the correct video signal to the TV, during the initializing time, the TV will receive incorrect signals or the signals will not be stable and will cause the TV screen to flash, some TV‟s will treat this as no signal, and will display a blue screen or screensaver. Question 8. Why when I switch to Y/Pb/Pr 480P, 576P, 720P, 1080I, does the TV screen display an unwatchable picture? Answer: Please check if your TV supports Y/Pb/Pr 480P, 576P, 720P, 1080I output, if your TV does not support, please use the A/V signal display instead, press the TV SYSYEM button on the remote control, then switch the TV‟s video input to NTSC or PAL.
