Turn the on/off switch to on while charging.

One thing that I have found that works is that you slide the switch to the "ON" position, but don't press play to turn it on all the way. Do this BEFORE plugging it into your computer. I have had the mp3 player fro a year or two and I have charged it about 15-20 times.

About the charging - you have to plug it in and then turn it on to make it charge. The user manual comes on a small disk with the device. It is extremely unhelpful, as it contains almost the same info as the package insert for quickstarting. The only thing that was useful in the manual was this : Support and Service
Please call 1-818-767-2843 ext 117 for any questions regarding this unit.

Here is a more detailed way to do this. I have the same problem with this. Mine just seems to last last longer with the charging though.

1. Plug it into your computer's usb port.
2. Wait until your computer recognizes the device. When you hear it make a sound after the device is plugged in, you turn the switch to the "ON" position and just leave it there.
3. Every now and then, shut it off and unplug it, and then repeat steps 1 and 2. I have found that after a while, the device stops charging on its own (which drains the battery without you knowing it) and then when you go to use it, you can't because of a dead battery even though it was plugged in. Like I said, the best way to get around this problem is to unplug the and then plug it back in every 30 mins or so to keep it charging. A good way to know if your MP3 player is still connected and charging is to add tracks to it. If the download bar stops moving forward, then that means your device is no longer connected and charging. It also means that you will have to replace the file that you tried to put in the player.

CHECK AND SEE WHAT FORMAT THEY ARE IN . SOME SONGS ARE IN A DIFERENT FORMAT WICH CAUSES THEM NOT TO PLAY AT ALL OR THEY PLAY ONCE OR TWICE BECAUSE THE FORMAT IS TRICKED INTO PLAYING ..

Hello,
That usually happens when you are using Windows Media Player to download music. WIndows Media downloads music into folders either by artist or the title of the CD. Your best bet will be to start over. Connect your MP3 player to your computer, if Windows Media opens close it. Go to My computer and click on MP3 player or Removable disk. It should say Internal storage. Right click on internal storage and select format. This will erase all your files in the MP3 player so please make sure you have copies of this files. After you are done formatting. Open Internal storage and leave the window open, it should be empty. Go to start, search, picture, music or video, check the music box and click search. All your music files should appear when is done searching, just click and drag one song at a time. into the the internal storage window. Remember do not use folders just click and drag one song at time. This should take care of your problem. If you still have any questions. Please contact Audiophase at 818-767-2843 ext 117

This is an audio MD player. There are no facilities for recording video. It has no recording functions at all. It simply plays minidiscs. You probably posted this in the wrong place.

i callled kmart about it being recalled and cause they no longer carry it ..they won't take it back...now i have a mp3 player that doesn't work...now what....

Ok for the KZ111 and KZ100 audiophase. turn the mp3 player on. then plug it into the computer. the player will start charging. Go to windows explorer or my computer and you will see it listed as a hard drive. Create a folder called music. you can then drag and drop mp3 files into the music folder. As for charging the battery my Motorola V170 cell phone has a usb charger. I use it to charge my mp3 player takes about 20 minutes. and the charger in my car for the phone works too. Hope this helps.

Hello,
Try resetting the MP3 player. turn it on, connect to your computer press and hold the play button for ten seconds. unplug it wait 10 seconds and plug it back to your computer. leave it charging for a couple of hours.

to turn it on you must turn it on and hit power if it wont work even on the cpu it's most likely broken and you should get it fixed
