What are ID3 tags and how can I use this feature?
ID3 tags store the information about the music track within the file. When an MP3 or WMA file is created
from a CD with an internet connection, the file is labeled automatically. When playing or searching for
these tracks on the RioVolt, the artist name and track name will be displayed.
What is CDText support?
CDText is a feature of Audio CDs that displays your music’s track titles if the Audio CD was created using
CDText. The RioVolt displays CDText on CDText capable Audio CDs. Many of the current mainstream
music CDs contain CDText that will display as track titles on the RioVolt.
Do I have to use the remote control when I use the headphones?
No. The remote control is optional and not required for normal operation. *Note – The remote is
designed with a larger outer connection to allow communication to the player. When the remote is not in
use, the headphone connector may appear to be too large, this is normal, and standard headphones will
work properly.
Can I use any set of headphones with the remote control?
Yes. As long as you have a 1/8” stereo connection, this can be used with the remote control in place. You
can also connect any 1/8” stereo headphones directly to the device.
