Answer
• Confirm the LOCK/UNLOCK switch on the player is set to UNLOCK. The player
will not power on if LOCK/UNLOCK is in the LOCK position. Switch LOCK/
UNLOCK to the UNLOCK position and press POWER to turn the Rio Eigen on. If
the Eigen still does not power on they battery may be dead.
• You can play MP3 and WMA audio files on the Rio Eigen.
• Yes. You can play MP3 and WMA audio content. They can be mixed together.
• WMA files are generally half as large as comparable sounding MP3 files. Because
WMA uses smaller file sizes, you can store more music in less space on CDs, hard
drives, or the Rio Eigen. The WMA format is exclusive to Windows-based
computers.
• The number of tracks you can store on the player depends on bitrate of the files
stored. The About menu lists the total amount of space, the amount of free
space, and the number of tracks on the Rio player.
