FAQ's
Q. Device does not turn on
A. Is it charged? Try re-charging. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds.
Q. The screen goes black - even during music play, what’s happened?
A. The device has an energy-save mode which turns off power to the screen when no buttons have been pressed for a while. Just press any button to wake it up again.
Q. What type of files can I store in the unit’s memory?
A. You can copy any kind of computer file from your PC to the device via the USB connection. Therefore the device can be used rather like a portable drive (“USB Stick”) for all kinds of data. However, the device will only PLAY files of the media types as shown in the Technical Data sheet.
Q. How do I install the video conversion utility supplied on the CD?
A. Simply copy the folders “AMVconverter” and “AMVplayer” from the CD to a convenient folder in your hard drive (ie C:\My Documents). Then navigate to the newly copied folder (ie C:\My Documents\AMVconverter\) and double-click on the application file “amvtransform.exe” to launch the conversion utility. For further information regarding the use of the AMV Converter, click on the “Help” button within the utility interface.
Q. When I try to copy files from my PC to the player’s memory I get an error message which says that “the drive is locked / write protected”. What’s gone wrong?
A. Disconnect the player from the PC. Set the Keylock switch to “UNLOCKED” position. Reconnect player to PC USB. Now files will transfer normally.
Q. I numbered the tracks of an album correctly, but they don’t play in the right order on the Eco Player - help!
A. The Eco Media Player plays all files in “Storage Order”. That is, it plays in the order that files are added to the memory. For example; simply drag “Song 01” to the Player first, then drag “Song 02” next, ... and so on. Now the songs will play in the right order (assuming that Repeat Mode is not set to “Random”).
Q. The screen says “Format Error” when I try to access an SD card. What’s wrong?
A. The original release of Eco Media Players could only access SD cards upto 2Gb. SD cards above 2Gb capacity are known as “SD/HC”, and these are now supported by the Eco Media Player, provided it has the latest Firmware installed. (Click here for Firmware Update). If the error message still appears, this means that the SD card is not formatted correctly. Use a Windows PC to perform a “FAT32” format on the card.
Q. Is the Eco Media Player compatible with Apple MAC computers?
A. No, it is designed for use with PC’s running Microsoft XP or later. (Win 98SE is also supported subject to installing the correct driver: click here to download). If the player is connected to a MAC (OS10) it will mount as an external drive, and files can be transferred to or from the player. However, there are problems, in that MAC OS will write hidden “DS_STORE” files to the player that will cause the player to malfunction if they are not removed prior to disconnection from the MAC. We have been told that a free MAC utility “FinderCleaner” can solve this problem, but we have not tested it, and we can only recommend that the Eco Player is only ever connected to a Windows PC.
Q. I wound up the player for a full minute, but it only played for about 20 minutes (the maker claims 40 minutes). Why the discrepancy?
A. The Eco Player is fully capable of playing FM Radio for around 40 minutes, MP3 audio for 30 - 35 minutes, and video play for around 20 minutes from 1 minute of winding. For maximum audio playback, make sure you set the “Screen Blank” time to the minimum (5secs) and the volume to a mid position in order to enjoy the longest playback time.
Q. Some of my “wma” music files play fine, but others refuse to play. What’s wrong?
A. It depends on where you got the songs from. Some “wma” files may be encoded with an anti-copy system known as “DRM”. The EP-MX71 is not DRM compatible.
Q. Where can I buy legal music downloads for my Eco Player?
A. There are many web portals selling media, but we found that www.ampdigital.com have a particularly good range of 320kbps MP3 music on offer.
