close the battery cover.  
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?  
Using External battery pack  
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.  
AA size battery  
The external battery pack can be attached as shown in the figure.  
Two AA size alkaline batteries are used in the external battery pack.

RECORDING  
I recorded an MP3 CD but it only see less than 20 songs.  
ow do I copy MP3 files on to a CD?  
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.  
ou need to record MP3 files onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc to play in the  
SlimX 450.  
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.  
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  
There are several ways to burn a CD. A CD is created in sessions.  
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.  
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.  
Can I add songs to the CD I already burned?  
hat do I need to burn MP3 files?  
Using multi-session or packet writing allows you to add songs to the CD.  
ou need a CD recorder, recording software program, and a blank CD.  
For details, refer to the “SUPPORT” at iRiver's homepage.  
ow do I make a CD from a tape or record?  
o 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.

PLAYING  
How do I listen to a spot on the track I last listened to?  
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.  
The SlimX 450 provide a RESUME function. Go to Function, General and  
enter into RESUME menu. You can set Track Time or Track #.  
The SlimX 450 can remember the last 10 CDs you played.  
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.  
How many playlists can the SlimX 450 play?  
The SlimX 450 can play up to 20 playlists( .m3u)  
How many songs can the SlimX 450 play?  
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.  
The SlimX 450 can recognize 999 songs (20 Playlist included) and 255  
folders including subfolders.  
I hear a 'hiccup' sound while the song is playing.  
Does the SlimX 450 play “ .ra”and “ .wav” formats?  
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.  
The playable formats on the SlimX 450 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.  
Can I change the playing order?  
The SlimX 450 support m3u file lists. Also, the Program function allows  
you to select your preferred songs.  
The SlimX 450 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.  
I can't hear an ASF file I recorded onto a disk.  
There are two kinds of ASF files, Audio and Video. The SlimX 450 only  
support Audio ASF file formats.  
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).  
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

Check whether the player door is opened.  
Check whether the rechargeable batteries are  
not charged or the batteries ran out.  
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.  
Check whether the CD is dirty or defective  
(clean it or change to new CD).  
Check whether the CD is inserted properly.  
Check to be sure the optical lens is clean.  
(Gently wipe with soft cloth.)  
Check whether moisture condensation has

Make sure there is a CD in the player.  
Problems can be caused by the CD creation  
process on your PC. Re-record the disk at a  
slower speed.  
Use Full Format when creating packet a written  
disk.  
Check whether VOLUME is set to “0”.  
Connect the earphone/remote plug firmly.  
Check whether the plug is dirty (clean the plug  
with a dry and soft cloth).  
Corrupted MP3, WMA file may have distortion  
or not play. Try playing another music file.  
Excessive jolting may affect MP3, WMA, and  
audio CD disks during playback.

Road Safety  
Battery level indicator may vary depending on battery type.  
Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any  
motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many  
areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high  
volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should  
exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous  
situations.  
Preventing hearing damage  
Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing experts  
advise against listening to continuous, loud and extended play. If you  
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.  
Consideration for others  
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside  
sound and to be considerate of the people around you.
