PROLEM RIPPING CD ON MY STREAMIUM WACS7500

contact the manufacturer through the suppoet facility on their website, they are the best people to help you in this matter and may ask you to return the item dor inspection/repair/replacement. This is not the forum for your particular problem I think.

Re the Ripping problem, for Win7:

To rip music from an audio CD

1. Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click Windows Media Center.
2. If Media Center is not in full-screen mode, click the Maximize button in the upper-right corner of the window.
3. Insert an audio CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer. The CD will start playing automatically.
4. On the Now Playing screen, click Rip CD. (If you navigated away from the Now Playing screen, you can always return there from the Windows Media Center start screen by scrolling to Music, clicking Music library, clicking Albums, and then clicking the CD you inserted.)
5. If this is the first time you've ripped a CD, follow the instructions on the CD Ripping Options screen. (You won't see this screen the next time you rip a CD.)
6. In the Rip CD dialog box, click Yes to rip the tracks to your computer. The ripped music files are automatically added to your Music library.

Re the webcam problem, would need more info. Do you know if the laptop has webcam software installed at all?

It is difficult to determine how much to repair because the computer needs a detailed check/test. Your computer repair shop can give you a quote.

The manual is here.

The answer is here in the FAQ's. It does not support gapless playback.

I imagine if it was a current product and enough users complained to Philips a 'fix' might appear.

Hi,
That's easy. When you insert an audio cd launch your Media Player and click on RIP and a downline menu will pop up you can select Rip CD automatically when inserted or more options to customize your cd ripping mode. After ripping the cd you can now add the songs to your library.

remove the cover and gently clean the lens with a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol, then blow the lens dry. if all else fails, replace the optical pickup assembly (lens and spindle motor) or the whole player.

use a different ripping software, the best is Nero and it does many other work by finetuing the audio tracks...

now a days,, rip dvd is very easy,, go to google.com and type ripping tools, which will guide you a variety of software tool programs freeware and shareware,, install one and check..

Hi !

I strongly suggest that you discuss WACS related issues in the Streamium Café (www.streamiumcafe.com). This is where you will find an answer to your problem (look for the WACHandler" threads where you will find a link to my application ;)
