FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - TS1GMP620 TRANSCEND

Quels types de fichiers audio le Transcend TS1GMP620 prend-il en charge ?

Le lecteur prend en charge les fichiers MP3 (Mpeg I Layer 3, débit 32–320 Kbps), WMA et WAV (format ADPCM).

Comment puis-je recharger ou remplacer la batterie ?

Le lecteur utilise une pile AAA (alcaline de préférence). Ouvrez le couvercle du compartiment à piles, insérez une nouvelle pile en respectant la polarité (+/–). Ne remplacez pas la pile lorsque l'appareil est allumé.

Pourquoi le lecteur s'éteint-il automatiquement ?

La fonction d'économie d'énergie est activée par défaut. Le lecteur s'éteint après 5 ou 10 minutes d'inactivité (sans lecture). Vous pouvez modifier ce réglage dans le menu Paramètres > Économie d'énergie.

Comment puis-je enregistrer la radio FM ?

Sélectionnez une station FM, puis maintenez enfoncé le bouton REC pendant 2 secondes. L'enregistrement démarre et le fichier est sauvegardé au format WAV dans le dossier /FM/.

Que faire si les boutons ne répondent pas ?

Vérifiez si l'icône de verrouillage (cadenas) est affichée à l'écran. Si oui, maintenez enfoncé le bouton A-B pour déverrouiller. Le verrouillage automatique peut aussi être désactivé dans les paramètres.

Comment répéter une portion d'une piste (fonction A-B) ?

Pendant la lecture, appuyez une fois sur A-B pour marquer le début (A), puis une seconde fois pour marquer la fin (B). La section sélectionnée est répétée en boucle. Appuyez à nouveau pour quitter.

Puis-je utiliser le lecteur comme clé USB ?

Oui, connectez le lecteur à un ordinateur via le câble USB. Il sera reconnu comme un disque amovible. Vous pouvez copier des fichiers MP3/WMA/WAV vers et depuis le lecteur. Notez que la lecture et l'enregistrement sont désactivés pendant la connexion USB.

Comment supprimer des fichiers directement depuis le lecteur ?

Dans le menu principal, sélectionnez Supprimer. Choisissez le type de fichier (Musique, Voix, Radio), naviguez jusqu'au fichier souhaité et appuyez sur PLAY. Confirmez la suppression en sélectionnant OUI.

Que faire si l'ordinateur ne détecte pas le lecteur ?

Assurez-vous que le câble USB est bien connecté. Sous Windows 98SE, le pilote doit être installé à partir du CD fourni. Pour les autres systèmes d'exploitation, aucune installation n'est nécessaire. Essayez de retirer la pile et de reconnecter le lecteur.

Comment restaurer les paramètres d'usine si le lecteur ne répond plus ?

Utilisez l'outil de mise à jour du firmware fourni sur le CD. Retirez la pile, connectez le lecteur à l'ordinateur, puis exécutez le programme de récupération. Attention : cette opération efface toutes les données présentes sur le lecteur.

Troubleshooting

If an error occurs with your T.sonic, please first check the information listed below before taking your T.sonic for repair. If you are unable to remedy a problem from the following hints, please consult your dealer, service center, or local Transcend branch office. We also have a FAQ and Support on our websites.

Driver CD cannot auto-run in Windows

Enter Device Manager in the Control Panel and enable the Auto-Insert function of the CD-ROM drive. Alternatively, you can manually execute the T.sonic.EXE from the driver CD.

Operating system cannot detect the T.sonic

Check the following:

1. Is your T.sonic properly connected to the USB port? If not, unplug it and plug it in again.
2. Is your T.sonic connected to the Mac keyboard? If yes, unplug it and plug it into an available USB port on your Mac Desktop instead.
3. Is the USB port enabled? If not, refer to the user's manual of your computer (or motherboard) to enable it.
4. Is the necessary driver installed? If your computer is using Windows® 98SE, you must insert the Driver CD into the CD-ROM and refer to the "Driver Installation for Windows® 98SE" section to complete the driver installation before using your T.sonic. A driver is not required for Win® ME/2000/XP, Mac™ OS 9.0 or later, or Linux™ Kernel 2.4 or later.
5. Is there a battery in the T.sonic? If yes, remove the battery and plug it into the port again.

Cannot power on

Check the following:

1. Is the T.sonic connected to your computer? If yes, unplug it.
2. Is the battery inserted correctly? If not, reverse the battery direction.
3. Is the battery power used up? If yes, replace it with a new one.

Cannot download MP3 or WMA files to the T.sonic

As required, uninstall the driver and re-install it. If this doesn't work, see the Recovering Your T.sonic Chapter to format your T.sonic.

Buttons don't work

Check to see if the LOCK icon is displayed on screen. If yes, press and hold the A-B button to unlock it.

Cannot hear track playback

Check the following:

1. Are there any MP3 or WMA files in the root directory of your T.sonic? If not, you must download music files from your computer or the Internet first (Only Mpeg I Layer 3 and WMA files compressed at a rate of 32Kbps-320Kbps are supported).
2. Are the earphones properly connected to the telephone jack? If not, connect them properly.
3. Is the volume loud enough? If not, press the Up (Volume Up) + button until the music playback can be heard.

Cannot display the track name correctly on the screen

1. The default language of the T.sonic is English. Please set the language option first.
2. ID3 tag information has the first display priority on the screen of the T.sonic. You could modify the ID3 tag by using Windows Media Player or Winamp.
3. If the ID3 tag is empty, just the file name will be shown on the screen.

Cannot enter the Record mode

To make sure a recorded file will not be lost, two safety mechanisms are provided.

1. If the remaining battery capacity is less than 10% , you cannot enter the Record mode.
2. During recording, if the remaining battery capacity goes below 10% the T.sonic will automatically save the recording.
