Introduction
The Rio 800 provides the ultimate listening experience while you exercise, commute, or
relax. Create and mix your favorite selections on your PC or Mac for playback on your Rio.
Your player is similar in function to a portable cassette or CD player. However, it has no mov-
ing parts, so it delivers skip-free music under any conditions. Plus, the convenient recharge-
able battery and voice recording option make the Rio 800 the premier digital audio player.
The Rio interfaces with your computer through the USB port. Use the software included on
the CD-ROM to:
• Organize digital audio tracks on your computer.
• Organize tracks on your Rio.
• Record (encode) your audio CDs.
• Search for tracks on your computer or on the Internet.
• Create a custom CD-ROM—if you have CD burning hardware and your computer sup-
ports it.
In addition, there are many cool accessories you can purchase separately to customize your
Rio. Visit the Rio Web site
for information about accessories or to place an order online.
