Common questions about the Rio 800
Common questions about the Rio 800
How do I put music on the Rio?
The Rio interfaces with your computer through the USB port. Use the software included to
download digital audio tracks from your computer to the Rio. You can get digital audio from
numerous Internet sites or encode your own digital audio tracks from your audio CDs using
the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
Can I use the Rio with Windows 95? I have the USB supplement pack.
No. The Rio USB devices can only be used with Windows 98, Windows ME or Windows 2000
operating systems, or Mac OS 8.6 or later. The Rio requires a newer standard of USB that is
not available in Windows 95, even with the USB supplement pack.
Where is the serial number located on the Rio?
The serial number is on the back of the Rio under the backpack. Remove the backpack from
the Rio to see the serial number (S/N).
