frequently asked questions
1. I registered my copy of the nike audio manager on my first
computer, but when I install it on another computer, it tells me
that the code is not valid.
• The license is system specific. To use the software on multi-
ple computers, register on each computer.
2. Can I use the nike psa[play in windows 95? I have the USB
supplement pack.
• No. The nike psa[play can only be used in windows 98, win-
dows millennium, windows 2000, or mac os 8.6 or later.
3. Can I unlock the audio manager so I can encode more cds?
• Yes. To get your certificate number (unlock code), please
register online. Follow the prompts on screen to complete
the registration process and get your unlock/certificate
number.
4. I get an error when I encode a cd and start recording.
• The encoding of cd tracks to mp3 tracks can be impeded by
one or more of the following factors:
• Over-taxing the cpu during the encoding process. (End all
other tasks before encoding.)
• Insufficient ram to cache the track properly. (Generally 64
megs is fine assuming that no other application is running.)
• CD-ROM firmware. (Even if a CD-ROM drive is new, it may
require a firmware update from the manufacturer to cor-
rect audio extraction errors.)
• Overclocking. (Overclocking the system can have adverse
effects on the peripheral components. If your system is
overclocked [running faster than it is rated at], then bring
it back to its normal operating speed.)
5. What does a "No Rio" message on the LCD mean?
• A "No Rio" message on the LCD indicates that the battery
may be low. We recommend you remove the battery, verify
it is charged, and if necessary, install a new battery.
