• Your Rio Forge was designed to work with the version of Rio Music Manager that
was included on the Installation CD. Previous versions of Rio Music Manager may
not be able to detect your Rio Forge.
• Verify that the USB cable is securely inserted into the USB port on both the Rio
Forge and your computer.
• Connect the USB cable to a USB port on the back of your computer rather than to
a USB port on the front of your computer.
• If using a USB hub, connect to a powered USB hub. Unpowered USB hubs may
not work.
• Connect the USB cable directly to your PC, bypassing any USB hubs.
• Remove USB extension cables from the connection path.
• Disconnect other USB devices.
•
The amount of music that can be stored on the Rio Forge depends on the bitrate
of the files stored.
