+ The touch pad and buttons do not work properly.

Check if the power switch is positioned to HOLD.

Check if the volume is set to "0". Check if there is any file available in the player. If there is no file in the player, you will not hear any sound. Please note that corrupted files will result in a noise or discontinued playback. Make sure the earphones are connected properly. Impurities in the earphone jack can cause a noise.

+ FM Radio does not work.

COWON V5 does not support FM radio.

+ There is too much noise in my recordings.

The product uses ultra-small internal microphone, so it may be more susceptible to noise during recordings. The microphone should not be covered with anything during recording.

+ Troubleshooting

+ Characters on the display are corrupted.

Set your preferred language again in Settings > Display > Language. If the problem persists, set the current font to the system font. COWON products are developed based on the Korean Windows OS, and this may cause corruption of some special fonts or languages on the display.

+ Computer cannot recognize the player when connected.

Try the RESET button in the back. If you experience a frequent disconnection or unstable connectivity, connect the player directly to the USB port of the PC, rather than a separate USB hub. As COWON products use the USB connection for the main power system, unstable power supply can cause a connection failure.

+ Memory capacity of the player is different or smaller than specified.

The memory capacity indicated by Windows may be different from that indicated by the memory manufacturer. The actual capacity will be reduced from the original size because some space of the memory should be used as the system area for normal operation.

For the player to function properly, it requires at least 5 MB of space for saving settings and other system files.

+ PC connection is unstable.

Connect the player directly to the USB port of the PC. When connected to a laptop, try removing other connected USB hardware, or try connecting to PCMCIA USB host card. Fully charge the product, or connect the product to the PC while charging with a genuine COWON adapter.
