Using AC POWER ADAPTER

In general, it is recommended to record the CD with 1~2 level lower than the highest speed if you are experiencing playback difficulties.
Do not mix rechargeable batteries with regular batteries. Do not use different types of batteries together. When the batteries are not to be used for a long time, remove them. If battery leaks, wipe off any residue in the battery compartment and insert new batteries. Do not recharge a normal battery.

RECORDING

How do I copy MP3 files on to a CD? You need to record MP3 files onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc to play in the iMP-700 Series. 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. There are several ways to burn a CD. A CD is created in sessions. 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 RWs as well. What do I need to burn MP3 files? You need a CD recorder, recording software program, and a blank CD. For details, refer to the SUPPORT at iRiver's homepage. How do I make a CD from a tape or record? To 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. I recorded an MP3 CD but it only see less than 20 songs. The CD was probably created as an Audio CDs will only hold about 15~20 songs. To record a CD full of MP3s be sure to set your CD creation software to record Data. The player cant 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 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. Can I add songs to the CD I already burned? Using multi-session or packet writing allows you to add songs to the CD.

PLAYING

How do I listen to a spot on the track I last listened to? The iMP-700 Series provide a RESUME function. Go to Function, General and enter into RESUME menu. You can set Track Time or Track #. The iMP-700 Series can remember the last 10 CDs you played. How many playlists can the iMP-700 Series play? The iMP-700 Series can play up to 20 playlists(.m3u) How many songs can the iMP-700 Series play? The iMP-700 Series can recognize 999 songs and 255 directories including subdirectory. Does the iMP-700 Series play .raand .wav formats? The playable formats on the iMP-700 Series 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. The iMP-700 Series 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. 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). 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. To reduce the loading time, it is recommended you to burn in Singlesession. You may contact Customer Service if it takes longer than 1 minute to load a single-sessioned CD or a Standard Audio CD. 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. 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 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. Can I change the playing order? The iMP-700 Series support m3u file lists. Also, the Program function allows you to select your preferred songs. I can't hear an ASF file I recorded onto a disk. There are two kinds of ASF files, Audio and Video. The iMP-700 Series only support Audio ASF file formats. 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

Should any problem continue after you have checked these symptoms, please contact iRiver sales representatives. What kind of media can the iMP-700 Series support? Standard Audio CD (8Cm, 12 Cm), CD-R, CD-RW DATA CD with MP3, ASF and WMA. The iMP-700 Series also support Mixed CD (Data Track + Audio Track), CD-Extra (Audio Track + Data Track), Multi-sessioned and packet written CD. 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. Player will not power on Check whether the batteries have been inserted in proper polarity (+ and -). Check whether the HOLD switch on remote is ON (Switch to OFF position) Check whether the player door is opened. Check whether the rechargeable batteries are not charged or the batteries ran out. 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 occurred (leave the CD player aside for several hours until the moisture evaporates). 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.
Loading stopped or 'No DISC' displayed on LCD

Check whether the plug is connected to the proper jack on the player. Check whether the HOLD switch is ON. (Switch to OFF position.) Connect the earphones/remote plug firmly. Ensure the rechargeable batteries are fully charged. Avoid the excessive operation of remote control. Check out Menu General Language and confirm whether the right language has been selected. (Refer to page 21.) 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. Check whether the adapter plug is properly connected. Check whether the batteries inserted are rechargeable.
