Rio Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Yes, this does require disassembly of the player though.

The front (silver) faceplate can be removed, and then the backplate and then the volume wheel can be re-glued (best to use some kind of epoxy resin).

Please open your windows media player and connect your Rio Calo Sport Mp3 player in Mass Storage mode and you will get the drive in your windows media player

The new remote is easy. An substitute remote is available here: http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=Search&o=c&uid=0&m=GV4060&uuid=12918561936090 . This should match most of the features of the original.

For the ghosting, the first thing to check is the cables. Try new A/V cables and make sure that they are well seated in both sets of jacks. If changing the cables doesn't help, I suspect that the connection between the video jack and the input board has a problem. This may be correctable if you can solder and are willing to open up the unit. You would need to remove the old solder and then resolder the joint. Alternatively, see if the input board is available from somewhere and just replace it. You need to read the part number off the board and google that part. (My usual source doesn't list this device but the parts are often shared.)

(This assumes the Sony DVD/VCR unit is compatible with providing a signal to a second VCR. Some are not and you may have gotten lucky with the previous Go Video unit.)

I hope this helps.

(a second possibility for the ghosting is that the video board has a problem but that is unlikely. Since you aren't reporting a problem with video playing in the Rio unit.)

Your power jack needs to be repaired or replaced. Check out eBay for repair services.

Hi, the nag screen "The semaphore timeout period has expired" is showing up because the file copy retrial time out limit is being reached & hence the error. (A firmware Problem)
But this normally occurs after your unit has frozen during file transfer or there about.
It is possible that the unit is defective. But first, re flash the firmware and then try again. You have to upgrade the firmware of the unit and you can do this while downloading the utility from the support page HERE.
If that does not solve the problem, you have no choice that to contact Rio directly to help fix the unit...

yes. Once you plug it in it should automatically start charging. If the screen goes blank leave it for about 15 min. Unplug it and start it to see if it has charge. I hope this solution has been helpful.

well, you kn=inda need to be more spacific. charge it or hold down the power button for more than 15 seconds. if those dont work, get a new battery.

well im not sure of your level of experience in sound systems but check your fuse on your amp then check to see if your rca jacks are plugged in correctly to your deck then to the amp there is also a blue wire from the deck to the amp alot of people do not connect this and there for no sound it also goes from the deck to the amp and if your power wire from the battery with a fuse on it is not blown or even installed at all for that matter and the negative wire from the amp grounded to bare metal on the body of the car make sure of that hope that helps.
