Connect my Creative Zen V Plus to my Panasonic Stereo SC-P

Indeed... when I connect my Zen to the USB port of my new Panasonic stereo, it doesn't work. A message "UNSUPPORT" appears on the stereo.
I have tried on others stereo at the shop and the same thing happens. At the shop, they told me it comes from my Zen, which wouldn't be updated.
So I've just downloaded firmware upgrade, and the problem?is still here.
Can?someone help me ?
Thank you in advance.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Zen and Zen V+ (maybe more, I only have these two) are not USB compliant memory devices. You must have Creative drivers loaded onto your reading device (meaning it will only work with computers that can have drivers loaded into them such as a PC or Mac). Welcome to the 990's (opinion).
About all you can do is plug the headphone output of the Zen to the audio input of your stereo (hopefully it has one). Too bad because over the last few years, most of the MP3 players out on the market (even the cheapest ones) act as a USB compliant memory device That way, they don't have to distribute a driver disk. You would have thought these would be the same, but maybe with further updateds, that will happen.

Creative Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer only works for the administrator account; for other users the message "The Zen Nano Plus is not connected. Please connect your Zen Nano Plus to the computer." is displayed, but it *is* connected and works under other programs.
Version is .0.03.
Thanks for any assistance.

How exactly do you do this? I checked this out tonight - when I logged onto my PC using my son's Limited User account (XP Home, BTW) I could connect his N200 and see it in Device Manager and Windows Explorer but both Creative pieces of software (CMS and N200 Media Explorer) did not see that it was there!
I tried setting the Run As... properties for the CTMS.exe file to run as one of the Admin user accounts but kept getting an error about being unable to find a specific file (which is in the Media Explorer folder!). When I went back to using the current user the error stopped. Perhaps I need to set the Run As.. options on that file as well?
As we don't use DRM'd music this isn't going to be a problem but it would be good to find out the cause of this once and for all.
I'm going to see if WMP0 has problems as well or if it's just the Creative ap

Creative Zen V PLUS firmware fail

Creative Zen V Plus
S/No. C6PF2072634R02752T
DAP-FL0040
I have experinced, some problem during applying newest firmware. I haVe downloaded all new updates. Then I started Creative ZEN V Plus Firmware .0.03__ and ther was a problem.. On my player`s screen was displayed updating firmware. And there was displaying for a couple hour. But. At the end of applying of firmware. The message was updatinf firmware failure. Then I repeated for several times. And Againg was the same message.
Then I detached player from my PC. And from that time my player is not responding..
I tried to do this again. But my player is not functioning welll. When I tur it On the display is showing just Creative logo, and then it is (self) turned off.
Now player cant be recognised by computer. But when I connect my Zen V Plus, it is recognised as STMP3600 device , and is trying to install new driver.
Can you Help me.
I bought my Creative Zen V Plus in miami I September this year. I`m Living in Serbia. Europe.
Sincerely yours,
Dejan Djordjevic
P.S. I`v tried to reset player, and to reset frimware according to your instruction in your Knowledge database. But can`t help me.

Yes I've got a TEAC MP-244 and I wanted to upgrade the firmware.
Tghe tool that was sent me by a TEAC support member worked; but it made my player to be a "STMP3600" and Windows XP wanted to have a driver.
I looked into the folder but the files there were corrupt.
The I downloaded the older firmware from the TEAC support website and - god thanks - the files in this packed folder worked. That means that the STMP3600 was recognized and a new device - in German: Player-Wiederherstellungskonsole (Englisgh sthg. like that: Device to recover the player?) - was created. Then I could upgrade the firmware successfully.
Maybe that's a help for you all guys.
Kinds gegards,

Creative Zen V Plus Dead after char

I put my Creative Zen V Plus and charged it on my laptop. I forgot my laptop has a standby option after 30 minutes and I put it in, went to sleep... woke up 6hours later, and my mp3 player was dead. I tried turning in on by holding the button for extended periods of time, I tried plugging it in?my desktop computer which had the drivers also.... I've tried reseting it.. but nothing works. Is there anything left to do or should I send back?

The player battery might be depleted so connect it to the computer and charge it for a longer period of time. Also, while connected, try pressing the Reset button/hole by the side of the player.

Creative Zen V Plus and libmtp

First off, for some reason whenever I plug my creative zen in, my laptop assumes this is some sort of photo device. In additino to that, Amarok won't recognize it.
When I did mtp-detect:
Listing raw device(s)
Found 1 device(s):
Creative: ZEN V Plus (041e:4152) @ bus 0, dev 15
Attempting to connect device(s)
usb_claim_interface(): Device or resource busy
LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to initialize device
Unable to open raw device 0
OK.
Should I be concerned about the LIBMTP PANICE?

Amarok1 can definitely do this and I think it's probably got the best interface for copying tracks to the player - I only keep amarok1 installed purely for transferring tracks to my player!
danielsoft wrote:wait, does that mean that this player cannot be connected as a generic USB storage device?
My Vision:M can partition part of the harddrive that will mount as a storage device, but that's only for files. Audio and Video is transferred only through MTP which is a pain in the wotsits. I'm not sure about all creative players, but I think the majority are MTP.

Creative Zen Nano Plus audio line-in recor

Im planning to buy Creative Zen Nano Plus GB.
. Does Creative Zen Nano Plus audio line-in recoreder offer excellent quality of sound music when you record a certain music through a CD player's line-in?
2. Please rate the quality of recorded sound music from to 0.
3. Does the recorded sound quality the same as when you just download the music file through your PC's USB connection?
thanks.

Is there something I need to set in the player to allow it to play out of it's line-in function?
You connected the ZNP's headphone out to your car|shelf|portable stereo's line-in, right? The line-in on the ZNP itself is only used to record external audio sources onto the player. The stereos may need to be set to play back from their line-inputs if they don't detect the signal and switch automatically, but that should be explained in the corresponding manuals.

I went ahead and updated it anyway. One little thing I noticed was now the volume only goes up to 25 like my Zen Touch instead of 40 or whatever that it did before. Same loudness, different numbers only. Other than that, I have not noticed anything different, but it seemed to work OK scrolling through a song with the old firmware. I did not, obviously, do a detailed comparison.

Creative Zen Nano Plus won't turn on!!!!Please h

For some reason, my 256MB Creative Zen Nano Plus that I've only had for three months has suddenly failed to turn on. I have changed the battery several times so I know it isnt that, but when?I press the power button, the 'creative' logo comes up for about 2 seconds with the blue backlight before switching itself off. When I plug my player in my creative media organiser on my computer through the USB though, it connects absolutely fine and I can upload my media files, its just literally turning it on that is such a problem. I can't explain why its doing this, the only thing I'm thinking of is that it was in my handbag for about 6 weeks without being touched so I'm not sure if something in my bag could've damaged it's But I'm worried because I'm not sure if my player is under warranty as?I don't have the warranty sticker on the back of, only a number and a bar code?Can anyone possibly help as I've been everywhere to try and get it fixed but no one knows whats wrong!?Thank you?Laura.

Can you still connect your player to your PC? If so then you can reload the firmware. Go to the Support, Downloads page for the Nano Plus and download the firmware from there. Make sure you click on the Show Details link as that explains how to carry out the reload.

Creative Zen Nano Plus..cords..warnin

Hello. i just got a Creative Zen Nano Plus and while I was going through the manual that came with it I noticed there was a warning about the cord(s): "WARINING: The cord(s) included with this product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproducti've harm. Wash hands after handling. " I'm wondering if Creative has changed the components of these cords. And if so can they be replaced somehow. I don't want to use a cord that may cause cancer or birth defects.

From a previous thread on this:
California law states that notification should be given if a product contains certain amounts of lead. Many types of electrical cords use small amounts of lead to make them more flexible and the USB cord used with many of our products is no different.
I believe a more official source of information regarding the Lead disclaimer, it's origin and purpose, can be found here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html

Creative Zen V Plus - Seeking your help with "Audio format is not supported" error

Hi,
I have a problem with my Creative Zen V Plus and am looking for someone to do a quick test to help me. I listen to a lot of MP3 podcasts, so I often rewind, fast forward or set bookmarks inside tracks. When I do those operations in some tracks, I get the error ?Audio format is not supported? when I ?land on certain places in a track (and I am able to reproduce the problem, which happens always at the same place in a particular track).
Here is what I mean by ?land?. For instance, there is a particular track (see the mp3 link below) that whenever I rewind to exactly 35 min 37 seconds, I get the error ?Audio format is not supported? and playback is stopped. If I fast forward to exactly 35 min 37 seconds, I also get the error. If I set a bookmark to exactly 35 min 37 seconds and I then go to that bookmark, I also get the error. But I don?t get the error if I play the track normally without any rewinding or fast forwarding: the track is played and passes the 35 min 37 seconds mark without any error.
Creative Labs customer support wants me to return my player for repair, but I am not sure if the problem is with my player or if the problem would also be present on other Zen V Plus, thus my asking for your help.
I would appreciate if someone of you could try one of my problematic tracks on their player. Here is what you could do to help me:
1- Download and transfer to your Zen V Plus player the following audio file (it'ss a technology podcast and don?t worry, it'ss virus-free, it comes from CNET):
http://podcast-files.cnet.com/podcas...oud_090808.mp3
2- Go to the 35 min and 37 seconds mark, press PAUSE and set a bookmark there.
3- Go into the Bookmarks menu and go to the bookmark you just set.
4- Do you see the error ?Audio format is not supported?, or the audio plays just fine? If the audio plays just fine, could you tell me what are the first words you hear
when going to that bookmark, just so that I am sure we are indeed doing the same test on each of our side?
5- What firmware version is your player at ?
Thank you very much for any help you could bring me.
Patrick

never mind. figured it out!

Creative ZEN V PLUS 8GB

Japan already seem to have the Creative ZEN V PLUS 8GB?when will the UK get this item? and at what cost ?

Hello Skhell,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Cleaning up shouldn't hurt your player. This will just scan your player and remove corrupt/invalid links that might cause some problems on the device. Boot the player from the recovery mode and do a Clean Up->Reboot. You can find the instructions here. See if that makes a difference.

My Creative Zen Nano Plus bro

my Creative Zen Nano Plus mp3 player stopped working after i dropped the mechanical part. When I checked it, I didn't see any chip marks or anything, but still it won't work. Can anyone help me? I'll post up pictures if u need me too, and I'll show how it broke.

"I found out the hard way that for it to be able to charge by USB on a computer, the software has to be installed which I think is pretty retarded. You should definitely pick up a charger cause it's a lot faster to charge and more convenient. " -- some guy who reviewed the mp3 player
i cant find where this other guy who said like the same thing
They must have been talking about a different player such as the Zen Micro which does recharge via the USB port.
