Setting up your MP3 player

Charging the battery

Connecting to Bluetooth headphones

Your Insignia player supports stereo headsets for listening to your player. Your headset must support Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and, optionally, Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP), which allows you to skip between tracks and adjust the volume.

Note

If your Bluetooth headphones support AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), your headphones can control Play/Pause, Skip Forward, Skip Backward, and Frequency Up/Down. The volume control on the headphones adjusts the volume on your headphones, but does not adjust the volume on the player.

Your player contains a Bluetooth radio which must be turned on to connect to your stereo Bluetooth headphones. If you are not using the Bluetooth feature, you should turn off your Bluetooth radio to maximize battery life when listening through the wired headphones.

Your headphones must be paired with your player. This is done by entering a PIN code (just like an ATM machine) into your player. The pin code is contained in the instruction manual for your Bluetooth headphones (many manufacturers use '0000'). Once paired, your headphones automatically connect with your player if you have them turned on before turning on the player.

To connect your headphones to your player:

1 Turn on the Bluetooth radio.
2 Search for a headset.
3 Connect to the headset.
4 Pair with a headset using a PIN.

Note

Bluetooth headphones will not work when using line-in recording.

Media Transfer Protocol (MTP, or Media Manager mode) is a protocol for connecting portable devices to a Windows XP computer and synchronizing digital media content between those devices.

When I copy files to the player using Windows Explorer, what folder should I copy them to?

In Media Manager (MTP) mode, copy them to the Media folder or root directory on the player. In File & Folder (MSC) mode, you can copy them to the root directory. On some operating systems, you may see separate folders for video and photos. Copy your files into the appropriate folder.

Some of my music files are on my player, but cannot be played. When I select them, a different song begins to play. What is wrong?

You may not have purchased the rights to play the song on an additional device. To test this, try to play a song that you have copied from an older CD and converted to MP3 format. If you can play that song but not the song that doesn't play, then you need to purchase the rights to play the song.

Why should I update the firmware?

You should always update the player to the latest firmware to make sure that it works correctly and has the latest features. For more information, see "Updating the firmware" on page 30.

How do I copy a CD to my player?

First you must rip the CD using a digital music manager like Best Buy Digital Music Store or Windows Media Player. After the songs are on your computer, copy the songs to the player using Windows Explorer or a digital music manager. For more information, see "Transferring music files to your player" on page 13.

Why does my player display a message that says "Unknown artist/album"?

This message usually appears when the music file doesn't contain artist or album information (incomplete ID3 tags). See the documentation or online help of your digital music manager for instructions on adding that information to your music files.
