ME, or XP.
Please note that there is no driver required for PC running Windows2000, ME,

5. Why is there distortion during playback?
This may be caused by low battery or temporary outside interference.
Alternatively, the content may be badly encoded.
Windows 2000 users should update to Windows 2000 Service Pack3 (SP3)
before driver installation can continue
.
6. Why is the playback quality bad?
2. What should I do if I encounter a download failure to the internal memory?
Download again if the playback is fine on the PC. If the problem persists, please
re-format the memory with the player’s utility to clear the memory and then try to

Check whether files have been stored in the built-in flash memory. Press the PLAY
button to try again.
Check the earphone connection or replace with another one.
