Pic appreciation for us please! BTW, all my recent stuff are black too... SR60, Edifier speakers, Motorola SLVR....

That's the part I dun understand also... it's nothing special. I tot can get it for RM5 at electronic shop... but ended up asking every game/electronic/electrical parts shop also don't have I even thought of doing my own, but cannot find L shape mini jack anywhere....

For me, 3 hours of TV shows, no problem. Music only, whole day (12 hours) using my Grado SR60. These cans drains quite a bit of juice. BTW, I always put 100% brightness..

Ben: go go go and get it! Worth every penny...

supazta: are your pictures properly scaled? it happened to me a couple of times, because I loaded a ton of 6MP pictures! After a while (around 50 pics viewing) the ZVM heats up and hangs... I guess overheat issue.. just scale down the pics la...

Nice.... pics pls? And short sound test impression

im quite concerned of having not enough space for my harddisk(where i store all my pics)..so my pics never exceeded 2mp...

so..whats the prob eyh?

does ZVM play DivX/xVid file format that usually are used by movies and tv series?

quite tempting la.. maybe just swap my credit card 2 explode la..wahahaha...

Yup! It can play most latest downloaded movies, i.e. DivX 4, 5 and Xvid (in SP - Simple Profile mode). Only much older movies (based on DivX 3) are not supported.

Try to make it 320x240 la...because:

1. it's the native resolution of the ZVM screen
2. it saves a lot of space on the ZVM...

ok john!
thx..
im bringing my zvm for my holiday today...
yay!
with a cute portable black speaker..my holiday will be perfect!
LoL

i wonder if there is a program telling u tat d file is not playable b4 i send it 2 ZVM?.. or i'll hav 2 test in d player 1 by 1 instead i can straight away notice it n convert it 2 a playable format...?

Hey Ben,

There is two ways to approach this. Basically, there is two ways to copy files into ZVM.

Method 1: Via Windows Media Player (WMP) - also known as MTP device method.
By using this method, WMP does not really perform a check whether it can play the video file before uploading. You can use a third party free program called GSpot to determine whether it's DivX 4 & 5 or Xvid. This is my preferred method, coz I hate installing Creative drivers.

Method 2: Using the Creative software. This software does actually perform the check, and based on option, it will help you to convert unplayable files to playable format.

So take your pick. Anyway, I have found only two file of video that does not play properly:

1. DivX version 3, very rare, unless the file was encoded > 2 years ago.
2. Any movie files with AC3 (surround sound). I usually don't download these kind of files, because it's too large (usually 50% larger than normal files), and I don't have surround hardware anyway.

Hope this helps you to make your purchase, Ben.

Well,for now, this canal doesn impress me. The bass of it is more defined compare with the sony's..hehe(sony is way too boooommy and do not have defined bass lol)

However, my first impression of the treble WAS horrible.The lack of clarity on the treble almost made me threw it away,but i decided to keep it,just yet. Currently, I notice a huge improvement on the treble which I can easily play rock-ish songs without pulling my hair.

The isolation isn't anything to brag about, just okay.Successfully blocked mom's nagging ,bus engine,honking and up to 4db of isolation from LRT train.

Probably upload the pics sometime tmr...or whenever i feel like it

woot, just got my creative zen two days ago..costs me around RM 1270..now discharging my battery..any faster way except play audio for 14 hours consecutively or 4 hours of video non-stop...kinda slow..=.="

lol, i don't even know how to use the FM radio to get the radio channel that i wanted..=P

yea...how can i set the frequency of the fm radio without using the autoscan option?
it didnt detect hitz and fly fm!

[johnliew]
well, i guess tat answer my questions... but then again.. d*mn, those file u mentioned cannot play in d player...frankly i got quite some, i usually download old movie.. n i sometimes download AC3 movie also(although i dun hav any surround hardware anyway hehe )... d*mn, conversion all time liao lo....

nimloth32: Where did u get it from? BTW, I think ZVM has Li-Ion batteries, not really a good idea to dischage until 0%. Not that healthy for the battery.

OK guys, I have figured out how to make the FM work for you. Please note I am using firmware version 1.41.01.

FM Radio => Press Play/Pause button, you will notice the word "Preset x" turn on or off (where x could be 1-20). Press the Play/Pause button until the "Preset x" is turned off, then using the left and right button to manually tune. Hold down left or right to scan forward/backward.

Hope this helps.

i get it from penang, gurney plaza..heard that you can get around RM 1000 in kl but i scared kena conned..hehe..thx for your tips anyway..besides that, any helpful tips on prolonging the battery life and taking care of my mp3 player? well, of course except from the tips that stated in the manual lar..hehe...i am kinda new using mp3 players..thx a lot sifu..

when i pressed the play/pause button..it began recording instead of tuning..
btw..my zvm froze twice today and i had to reset it..didnt do anything except was listening to the radio..

is it possible because of the incoming sms into my hp..the zvm freezes?
coz i did hear some strange noise before it stuck..

while it was rebuilding the data..the screen became really weird...take a look at the pic..


Attached thumbnail(s)

I only got one... prevent charging from USB! Reasons stated previous post ....

Hmm...are u using firmware 1.41.01? Please check from System.

SMS? Hmm... very wierd.. ZVM does not have any wireless capability... Your screen does look wierd... Two things I can suggest:

1. Upgrade to firmware 1.41.01 again, if you have already done so.
2. Return for warranty.

okok, i read bout it d..but the thing is..once i plug my ZVM into my computer via USB port, i thought it automatically recharging from USB d??..how to prevent that from happening?

Well, there is three "simple" ways to prevent this.

1. Charge via power first until 100%, then connect USB to sync.
2. Plug in and turn on power and connect to USB at same time.
3. Plug into USB as usual, but cepat cepat sync then unplug USB

Your pick... Hope this helps.
