Q: I’ve copied several files from my PC onto a PCMCIA drive, but they do not
appear in DVM Explorer.
A: The PCMCIA drive may have been pre-formatted in a way which is incompatible
with the AM-3 operating system. Use DVM Explorer to format the media, and then
re-copy the files.
Q: DVM Explorer shows a red circle in front of the file name. What does this mean?
A: The file name does not follow the naming conventions outlined in this manual for
video files. It may not be a valid video file.
Q: I have several files on my AM-3. When I try to play one of them using DVM
Explorer, a different file plays.
A: All file names and numbers must be unique. You cannot have, for instance, two
files named SND00005.WAV, or have a file named SND00003.WAV along with a
PLY00003.LST.
Q: I have created a playlist using Windows 95, but it doesn’t work on the AM-3.
A: Windows 95 sometimes uses its own extensions, or adds extensions that are
hidden when viewed in Windows Explorer. Try using a DOS shell, and renaming the
file, or use a DOS editor.
Q: When using DVM Explorer on a Windows NT machine, communication with the
AM-3 is intermittent, or the program crashes.
A: DVM Explorer is designed to operate with Windows 95 only. It has not been
certified for use on NT machines.
Q: When playing back files, the audio seems to jump from one file to the next,
interrupting the currently playing file in the middle.
A: The media has become fragmented. Format the media in the AM-3 and them re-
copy all the files to it.
