from the top of the touchscreen and check that the USB connection is set to "storage" rather than "DAC";
then plug the X5 back in. You will be prompted to "Turn on USB storage". (the prompt can also be brought

How to connect the X5's S/PDIF / coaxial digital output to other equipment? What to
connect it to?
A: First, make sure that the Multifunctional Output (Section F.1.6.c) is set to Coaxial digital out. Then
connect the LINE/COAX OUT port on top of the X5 to the provided S/PDIF adapter cable. (It's the short
cable with a 3.5mm jack on one end and a single RCA port on the other.) Then connect the other end of the
adapter cable to your equipment's coaxial S/PDIF input with an appropriate RCA coaxial cable.
Note: Different manufacturers may have different pin-out definition of the coaxial cable plug. Please use the
coaxial cable supplied with the X5 to avoid the no output problem resulting from incompatibility.

Why does my HT receiver never play the first ten seconds of music from my X5?

A: If the HT receiver is not explicitly set to receive audio from the coaxial port, it takes approximately ten
seconds to detect that audio is not coming in through the HDMI port and switch to the coaxial port. In this
case, please set the HT receiver's audio input to Coaxial.

How to get longer battery life for the X5?

A: a) Set the display to sleep after a certain period of inactivity (system Settings->Display->Sleep), and lock
the screen before putting the X5 in your pocket, so that the touchscreen does not continue accepting
input in your pocket and keep your X5 active.
b)Turning down the backlight brightness and turning off the pulsar light can also save battery.
c) Go to X5's system settings -> Power-off timers -> Idle poweroff to set the Idle poweroff timer; And after
the set time of inactivity, X5 will power off automatically to save power.

Why is the X5 a bit sluggish in responding at times?

A: a) High bitrate lossless tracks, particularly 384k/24bit APEs or DSD files, take more hardware resources
to decode, possibly causing slowdowns in the player UI. You may convert such APEs to FLACs or
uncompressed WAVs using programs such as foobar2000 on the computer first to make it easier on the
