Troubleshooting
Problem: The RioVolt SP250 gives a No Disk error message when
spinning up.
Troubleshooting measures:
1.) Make sure the CD is seated properly.
2.) See if a standard audio CD functions properly.
3.) Try to play a CD created with standard MP3/WMA files encoded at 128 Kbps, not variable bitrate (VBR)
files.
4.) Try burning to a different media or brand of media.
5.) Try using a CD created on another CD burner.
6.) Try burning your CD at a slower rate (say 2x or slower) to see if it makes the files load properly.
7.) Try closing the CD volume when you burn the CD.
8.) If you are using a Macintosh to burn your CDs, make sure the .MP3 extension is at the end of each file.
Some versions of Mac software do not include this extension and these files cannot be read by the
RioVolt SP250.
Problem: Why is it that when I play a CD with both CD Audio and MP3/
WMA files I can only play the CD Audio?
Troubleshooting measures:
When the player reads the disc, the CD Audio tracks are located first and played accordingly. MP3/WMA
files will subsequently not be read. It is recommended to use either CD Audio or MP3/WMA files when
creating your CDs.
Problem: Why am I not able to get the display to remain lit when using
the player in the dark?
Troubleshooting measures:
The back-lighting is designed to go off when the player is not being accessed by button interaction. This
helps to conserve battery life. As you use the buttons to navigate the player, the light will remain on.
Problem: I am unable to power up the RioVolt. This happens when using
new batteries or the AC power adapter, what’s wrong?
Troubleshooting measures:
Be sure that the Hold Switch on the front of the unit is set to OFF. If the Hold Switch is in the ON
position, you will be unable to power up the unit. Place the Hold Switch to the OFF position and hold
down the Play button to power the RioVolt on.
