iRiver PMC-120 Digital Media Player Questions & Answers
Need a driver for the pmc 120 for XP.....
You need to use windows media converter (under the windows media folder) and convert all videos to WMV format and you have to use 320X240 output resolution, 800kbps sound quality. Anything else will result in a format out of specification error. Now where to move those video files is a mystery as there is no video folder. You can move all pictures into the pic library, etc. Windows Media Player 10 is designed to natively pick this device up and make synchronizing easy. when I plugged my Ebay PMC-120 in, Windows media player tried to sync all media files to my device, pictures, music, windows sound effects, etc. Should not be an big deal if you have the correct USB cable, mine came with one. Iriver.com has the software, but you have to go into the update software area of the site and there is a link to the master program in a set of upgrade instructions, no other place that I looked. Not Vista compatible unless you download the installation program and set its compatability to winXP BEFORE you run it. And stick with WMP 10 as it was around when this device was made.
Will not turn on
Howdy! Same thing happens to me after only a while of having it. iRiver were of very little help but I found my solstice in selling it to some other unfortunate person. I found if you charge it for a hour and then take out the charger, remove the battery and replace it, it will go. What a pain! Perhaps the battery drains out when it sits unused for a few days.
PMC 120 problems
Is the adapter the correct one, maybe wrong voltage (5.0) or wrong phasing (ring is -, tip is +)
My iriver pmc won't switch off
make sure the hold button on the bottom is showing white, not red (locked) if that doesn't work, just pop the battery off and put it back in.
My laptop does the "found new hardware, mtp device" popup, but doesn't recognize it as iRiver
Here's the link for the user manual if you need it;

check page 137 of the pdf and try the restore to original settings.
do you have the setup cd? - it has troubleshooting for the unit, which is not available on the website
there are no drivers available, it uses windows media player as a driver, but the manual and the support site;
http://www.iriveramerica.com/support/multi/pmc100_faq.aspx
both claim that you need windows media player 10, not 11 to synchronise. you can download it from this link;
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/default.aspx
or install it from the setup cd
just uninstall wmp11 first.
many of this type of unit and mp3 players etc have problems with wmp 11, hopefully reverting to 10 will allow you to sync
Hope this helps :)
Not recognized by my Win XP SP2 computer
You probably erased some of the players system configuration files in the process of your file removal. You might want to reformat the device by going to my computer and right clicking of reforamt this device. Once completed you might want to unistall the device as well and make a complete fresh install of it by either installing the driver again using the players website download or the cd that came with you player.
To unistall the device do the following:
1)Go to start
2)Right click on my computer and select properties.
3)Once there go to the device manager tab.
4)make sure it is connected
5)Find your device and right click and click uninstall.
6)After just restart your system and install the driver again for your player or insert the Cd
another alternative would be instead of uninstalling is to check for a device update.
Recovery tool
You're getting the first and second screen, but the third screen that shows those tools when it's fixing a disk error doesn't come up?
It either didn't find anything wrong, or it did and couldn't fix it.
You should get in touch with the company.
