User Manual Troubleshooting If you question is not listed in this section please visit our forum at http://mobilnova.3.forumer.com/ Cannot find the device Videos are converted but my TomTom does not play them Subtitles are not encoded Audio and video are desynchronized. Make sure that TomTom is attached to your PC or memory card is inserted into your SD card reader. If you have TomTom GO, GO 300/500/700, RIDER or ONE: Check if you have upgraded the firmware.

GO 510/710/910 and One New Edition are already delivered with compatible firmware, please contact our customer support. Try to check your TomTom drive for errors using Windows tools. Check that subtitle file name is the same as video file name. DVD subtitles (.idx + .sub) are not supported directly. You have to convert them in to .srt or .sub any other format.

1. Try to adjust the synchronization with OSD menu button, refer to Video playback on TomTom section of this

value and the video bitrate in the converter.

This will not affect your maps, navigation software, settings or video files. Video playback is jerky or choppy

• Use a faster SD-memory card. Older cards may have insufficient data throughput rates and can’t keep up with the pace of the video. We recommend at least 20x speed (up to 3 MB per second read/write)
• If you have a TomTom Classic you may experience less fluent video then on the later models. This is because the TomTom GO Classic has a slower processor
• Reduce Bitrate parameter in Mobilnova Video Converter and re-convert your videos.

I’m encoding videos with several audio tracks and several subtitles, but by default I’m getting English sound and English subtitles. Is it possible to select another language? The player for TomTom plays cyclically the file. At the end of the file it restarts from the beginning. Is it possible to change this? Yes, this is possible. Please refer to the Subtitles chapter Note: the subtitles file should be named exactly the same as video file, but with .srt at the end instead of .avi Yes, it is possible, but not recommended. Cyclic playback of video is the default behaviour. Go to the directory where you installed Media Center, then go to Media\etc\mplayer subdirectory. By default this is "C:\Program Files\TomTom Media Center\Media\etc\mplayer\" Edit the file mplayer.conf At the very bottom of this file you will find line loop = 0 Delete this line and the player will exit automatically after the video finishes.
