Appendix Trouble shooting Why can some WMA format songs on the digital player not be played? There are many different music formats for songs on the Internet and many of them are in WMA format. Some of these WMA format songs are subject to DRM (license) copyright protection, which may cause unauthorized copies of some songs to become unplayable.
Page 51
Now click the “portable device” option on the left hand side of the Windows Media Player. A list of the music to copy will appear. Select all the songs you want to copy and then click the “copy music” button in the top left hand corner of the screen. The selected songs can now be transferred to your player with the required license protection authorization.
Page 52
Why do different songs play at different volumes? Depending on how a song is recorded, and how the volume levels were set at that time, songs can have different volumes levels and some can sound much louder than others. Why can some files, which are smaller in size than the available space on the player, still not be transferred? The CMOS chip inside the player allocates 16KB or 32KB to one memory track.
Page 53
Sudden shock may cause damage to the hard drive. ® Please protect your player from the above situations. Truly does not take responsibility for any files that are lost or damaged due to misuse. Please repair with a professional software restoration hard disk if there is system damage.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the Device Partnership with your web music store software. Your HD900 will display in the web music store as a Portable Device. Follow your web music store’s instructions to transfer DRM protected music to your HD900.
