If that doesn't help then the best I can suggest is to take it back for a refund. Coby makes them cheap, and they are. Yes it should work. Let them know if yours doesn't. <br /><br />4D4DThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368303705408227143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674448692821111502.post-13291049423163263292010-02-23T02:05:33.808-06:002010-02-23T02:05:33.808-06:00hello,

I'm the same person that left August 29th,2009 comment.<br /><br />I wish there was a better manual that came with this because I was unaware of pressing M to switch between manual and preset until now. I dissasembled mine to see what it's inside and discovered it's an Action Electronics ATJ2135 system on a chip in there. This has the audio ADC/DAC built in. The FM Radio is the standard Philips chip used in many of them that's controlled with an I2C bus. The flash rom on mine is a Hynix 4gb part. It also has 2 MByte of Hynix SD100 ram in there. <br /><br />What's really cool is the processor on board is a 250 mhz (max) MIPS R3300 32bit risc core processor. Woah nelly. That'd be good enough to run Linux on it. HEH<br /><br />Plus it has a 90mhz 24 bit DSP for audio and some kind of dedicated video decoder section in hardware as well.<br /><br />The DAC is a 24 bit delta-sigma type with oversampling and I must say it sounds very good. I'm not sure but I think I read the ADC section is 21 bits in the datasheet for the ATJ2135 chip. This won't matter in the Coby since we wer'nt even given a mic or recording app.<br />It used the ADC to digitize the analog out from the radio chip before sending it to the DAC to drive the headphones. There is no capability in the software to record the radio. <br /><br /><br />I found more info on the hardware at rockbox.org <br /><br />It uses the same chip as the iRiver E100 so if you read up on the port to the E100 you'll find links to docs talking about the ATJ2135.<br /><br />Overall I'm very happy with it. The audio quality is great, it works , it looks pretty good, and I've used it to view photos on it<br /> but I still havn't tried putting any videos on it.<br /><br />It's still working with glitch free performance so I'm very happy about that. Too many of these cheap mp3 things lock up and freeze and stop working so I'm glad the Coby is a lot more reliable compared to the other cheap ones.<br /><br />Again, downside is poor screen resolution. Coby obviously elected to save money on the screen.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674448692821111502.post-76281464510753532112009-11-05T18:20:38.101-06:002009-11-05T18:20:38.101-06:00i got a coby mp3 model 705-8g for my birthday..the...i got a coby mp3 model 705-8g for my birthday..the cotrols are confusing. and there's no abc order. i hate it and it ruined my birthday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674448692821111502.post-16033063780004232352009-08-29T11:32:22.572-05:002009-08-29T11:32:22.572-05:00Thanks for this review. Everything in the review i...Thanks for this review. Everything in the review is basically spot-on. It took me a day to realize the metal ring is purely decorative. I kept trying to scroll through stuff like an Ipod. The touch controls are kind of lame, but you get used to them. The blue back light is 'neato' on dark nights. I had an issue with USB connections that almost made me return the player, until I discovered you had to go into the settings and set usb to NOT be 'Auto'. Now I can see all the files on the player correctly in windows Vista premium.<br /><br />I have found the battery life to be adequate.<br />The sound quality is impressive, using a pair of Sony MDR-7506 professional studio monitor headphones. I've been trying to find someone who disassembled one to find out what's inside. I suspect this has a Wolfson audio chip in it, which would explain why the audio quality is very good.<br /><br />Like many players, this one might benefit from having an external headphone amp if you desire really high volume levels with large diaghraghm headphones.<br /><br />The build quality is surprisingly good. <br /><br />I've had no issues with lock ups/freezing yet.<br />Had it for two weeks using it every day 2 - 3 hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674448692821111502.post-60784461552254753732009-08-13T19:51:29.616-05:002009-08-13T19:51:29.616-05:00well...A nice review even if you did sound a littl...well...A nice review even if you did sound a little picky for the price.Im going to get one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674448692821111502.post-26294151462377056352009-06-15T18:51:05.022-05:002009-06-15T18:51:05.022-05:00Thanks for that update.
