Ilo mp3 player and memory/files

You can manually program a station by pressing AM/FM to get to the correct radio band. Then tune in a station with the Tuner +/- (the left/right arrow) buttons on the remote. Next press Memory (just below 7) and then a number on the keypad. The number must be entered before the Program Preset number stops blinking. (For FM you can use some 2 digit numbers.) To scan through the stations in memory use the Channel +/- buttons on the remote or the Next/Previous track buttons on the RT2770. You could fill all of the memory slots automatically by pressing and holding the AM/FM button for two seconds. The unit will store the stations that it tunes in in order until the memory slots are full. Note: you do need to have the FM antenna and AM loop antenna connected (and extended for the FM antenna).

Retrevo has the manual for the RCA RT2770 available here: http://www.retrevo.com/support/RCA-RT2770-Home-Theater-Systems-manual/id/2869dj191/t/2/ . You will need to enter a code to download the PDF.

I hope this helps.

The device has an on/off toggle switch and four control pushbutton switches (left ro right) are:
1. Menu (FM Radio or MP3 Player) select
2. Play/Hold
3. Back/Previous
4. Forward/Next

Inputs and output are:
1. 1/8" External Source Input Jack
2. Micro SD Slot
3. Mini USB 5v External Power Input
4. 1/8" Headset/Output Jack
5. USB Memory Card/USB Cable Input/ (Right Side)

The Menu switch has two functions, MP3 Player and FM Radio as indicated by the display. If the Play/Hold switch is pushed in and held for a few seconds the radio will automatically sweep and put the available local stations in memory. The back and forward switches are used to select the desired station. The display indicates station channel number and broadcast frequency (MHz).

In the MP3 Player function Menu function the Play/Hold Switch starts and stops the player. Back and Forward switches select the previous or next track. Simple as that. The player automatically plays the next file if left alone unless the Play/Hold switch is pressed. The display indicates file number and play time. No other functions, like folder selection, were found. If a 5v dc supply is connected to the Mini USB connector the battery will remain charged and it can be used as a small table radio/player. No tests were made to see how long it would operate on its internal battery.

The sound is good and better than expected for a device its size. Enough sound output to hear it in any part of an small house (With some distortion of course). The volume is controlled by holding the forward or back switches in for a couple of seconds and it will switch to volume level control. The display is LED rather than LCD and easier to view. It is on continuously when the player is working with the charger attached.

If you’re having this problem while using the FM transmitter try using a different FM Station. I have the same problem. Mine only does this when I am using the FM transmitter. I recently noticed my volume is adjustable on certain FM Stations, and on other FM stations the volume control is limited. I hope this helps.

yes, buy a diff. brand!! and then tell wal-mart, ilo brand it sucks!!

Although it should be letting you download more than 424mb of files, there are only 2 things I can suggest:

1. Try to open up the folder when you plug it into your computer. Search through the folders and see if there are files in there that may not be compatible with your mp3 player and therefore will not display.
2. Check for duplicate files and that the size of the files is not misleading. I've had a problem where a certain song was displayed as being 2.56mb, I opened it on my computer before it was transfered and it was registered as 60mb because the track would continue to play for hours afterwards because of the file being inappropriately labeled at the ending point.

The fact that there is so much unused and unusable space on the mp3 is unusual, but you may have a problem also with your formatting. You DO have to leave some space in your mp3 player to leave room for the operation files of the mp3, so although it is labeled as having 2gb of space, you have to save at least a couple mb of space to let the system function. Hope this helps.

This is the worst mp3 player ever invented - i have to tell you this up front. There is no driver, the company does not support the product anymore - I would return it now while you still can.

Either the device is bad, the pc port is bad, or the software is faulty. Try connecting to different usb port, then a usb port on a different pc with a compatible os. If still not recognized, then there is physical damage to player.

Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.

There are two ways to format an Mp3 player - one on the computer itself, and one in Windows Media Player. Both methods will end up erasing all the songs on the player, but the player will be "good as new" after that. Sometimes reformatting in this manner will override the player's native formatting and cause problems - this can be reversed in most cases by updating the player's firmware. Firmware upgrades are available from most manufacturers' websites.

WARNING: The following procedures will erase all songs on the player.

Check if the file system is NTFS. If yes, format it to FAT or FAT32. - Connect player to computer, double-click my computer, right click on icon of mp3 player and select format. This only applies to Windows-based computers.
You can also format the player in Windows Media Player itself:
Connect your Mp3 player to the computer and open Windows Media Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "name of Mp3 player here 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select "Format." - this should erase everything.

Ok I have same player, same problem. Turns out Windows Media player copied the files into the FM subfolder on the device. FIX: connect device to computer. Do not open WIndows media player, instead open windows explorer, in there you should see the ilo as a new drive. Click the drive and go into the FM folder, now select all files and drag them directly to the drive. The secret is the files have to be outside of the FM folder loose in the device (not in any folder) After that I safley removed the device from the system tray icon and powered it on and the songs were all there. It runs an index process that creates the lists, this takes a second.
