What does the Rio player Hold feature do?
The Hold feature locks the player buttons and controls except the OFF/ON switch. This is useful at times
when the player may be bumped or jostled. To put the player into or out of Hold mode, press and hold
MENU, then press ENTER. When the player is in Hold mode, a lock icon appears on the LCD, and the player
displays a message indicating that Hold mode is active if the player buttons are pressed.
How much music can I put in my Rio player?
The amount of music you can store in your player or on your computer depends on the amount of memory
you have available. The following table shows the amount of memory required to store one minute of ste-
reo music for the given bitrate.
Calculating Play Time
Note: Due to different software compression algorithms, the following information may vary
slightly depending on what software you are using and what program created the MP3.
To determine how much play time your Rio player actually has, use the following equation:
Rio player Play Time = M / (S x 0.439) where:
M = Rio player memory size in megabytes (MB): 64MB, 128MB, and so on.
S = Sampling Speed in kilobits per second (kbps): 128kbps, 80kbps, and so on.
