Frequently Asked Questions
1. What type of CDs can I play with the NAPA?
You can play CDs that have MP3 music files or you can play regular CD audio music discs.
2. Can I mix CD audio with MP3 files?
No. You can play either CD discs or CDs that have MP3 music files. They cannot be mixed together.
3. Can I playback CD-R and/or CD-RW discs?
Yes. You can playback CD-R and/or CD-RW discs. The Multi-Session format is supported, so you can add tracks onto the CD-R o
r
CD-RW
4. Where is the Battery indicator on my DAV314G
The battery indicator on the DAV314G is located in the top-right corner of the display. The segments in the battery icon show the
remaining battery power. All three segments illuminated = a fully charged battery. Segments not illuminated = a run down battery.
5. What kind of skip protection is there on the NAPA DAV314G?
The Dav314G uses Electronic Shock Protection to help prevent skipping during playback. When playing MP3 files, you get up to 120
seconds of skip protection. When playing Audio CDs, you have the option of up to 40 seconds of skip protection.
6. How does E.S.P (skip protection) work?
When the player first starts, a buffer is filled with the track data. The CD stops spinning as the tracks play out of memory, which helps
conserve battery life. When about 30 seconds of time remain in the buffer, the CD will again spin up and refill the buffer. Note that
during this time, if the DAV314G is jarred so that the buffer cannot be filled – for example, when jogging or riding a bicycle- then the
player may begin to skip. You will need to let the buffer fill in order to have Skip—free performance.
7. What kind of batteries can I use with my DAV314G?
The unit can use Alkaline Battery, and Ni-MH rechargeable battery too.
8. How much playtime can I get from 2 AA alkaline batteries?
Playtime varies with battery type and music content. However, as a guideline the following applies: MP3 have up to 15 hours of music
playtime. Audio CDs will have up to 8 hours of playtime with ESP on and 10hours with ESP off.
