MSI Mega Player 522BT problems

I just got the new player recently & here's the problem,
When connected to my mobile phone thru bluetooth, my callers always complains the mic pick up is very soft.
Is there anyway to boost the mic pickup?
I've upgraded the firmware of my 522BT to 1.04.00 version & yeat still having this problem.
The phone i'm using is SonyEricsson T610 software version is R6C005.
Is there any accessories (i.e. earphone, mic) on the market that is compatible & works with MSI Mega Player 522BT? the mini earphone jack is 2.5mm dia not the standard 3.5mm dia....

You are not the only one with those problems. I only notice the headset jack is of the mobile phone type instead of the normal audio type, despite the fact I test run it at the counter before making the purchase. It looks like one of those Nokia handphone headset plugs, so I'll try my luck one of these days at the phone accessory shops to get some other stereo handsfree to try out.
The BT headset/handsfree function is neat, but considering this is MSI's second offering of this sort of BT mp3 player (516BT was an earlier version with USB 1.1 pc link), I'm dissappointed with the sound and BT pairing quality of the player. If I keep my phone in my right pant pocket with the player in the left one, the caller will complain about a lot of statics and interferences. At the same time, I can't hear the person talking either. I did the firmware upgrade as well, but guess that's just fixing problems related to the mp3 functions. I do hope MSI tech supports will come up with some fine tuning/adjustments regarding the BT feature. My phone is not listed in the compatible phone list, but they paired, so I think it's not the problem with my phone (O2 Xphone). I tried pairing 522BT to my PC and used as the headset, and the sound quality really requires some attention. Do hope the sound quality is as good as the music playback quality...
As for the music playback, it's quite good. The sound is clear and rich, except the SRS function which I don't really like. To me, it just blurs out the music.

MSI Mega Player 522BT pairing question

I just bought this nifty gadget and when I tried to pair it with my O2 Xphone, the pairing menu showed a 'MEGA PLAYER' and a series of numbers and alphabets, shown as 2 seperate devices. I paired with the 'MEGA PLAYER' and it's working, just that the sound, mic and pairing quality really need a big boost. Can anyone explain to me what was that series of numbers and alphabets are used for?? Do I need to pair that as well??

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks bluetooth mic/audio is crap. For me, it's unusable as a bluetooth headset. I've tried it on a T610, T630 and a Samung 460, and none of them were good to work with, so the problem clearly lies with the 522bt. I just hope they'll have a good firmwareupdate, and soon, because now, it just lies there...

Problem MSI mega player 533

after update 002.000.* firmware in MSI MEGA PLAYER 533, windows and linux not detected MSI MEGA PL-533,and can not switch "ON" my devices,how to repair
in windows INITIALIZING MSI-5533 not detected devices ,pleaase help meeeee how to repair

I finally solved "the v2.00.02/v1.672 firmware update problem" [after 20 install/reinstall f*ckups]
[I also tought (at the time) that my player is dead/fried...doesn't matter now dough..]
It's almost funny now how easy I made it to work again with updated firmware..
point is that when you connect it on USB without pressing anything and start updater
and when it says "Media state not initialized" you check "Format" and run it..when completed
unplug it..and then again connect it with play pressed all the time (as described in instructions)..
start updater again with format option checked and wait to complete..thats it!
now finally everything works fine as it should be (v2.00.02)..
P.S. "Questioon" wrote that he didn't figured how to work with playlist..just, when you are in the "playlist", need to press next/previous key for about half a second to navigate through folders (when you copy music to player you put it in folders if you want to use playlist feature)

Crap BT handsfree voice quality using MEGA PLAYER 522BT

It has been more than 2 months since I bought my MEGA PLAYER 522BT. Initially, I was thinking of using this as my handsfree, but th evoice quality is really some crap! Eversince then, I have been checking the MSI download page in hope for new FW to improve this. So far, only 1 FW was released, and it deals only the bugs in the audio player, not the Bluetooth module.
That leads me to think that since mp3 players with 512MB onboard + ordinary BT handsfree costs more than this device, and the integration of both with the addition of SD/MMC card slot for this device will rack up the price quite a bit. But the price is very attractive when I bought it (consider it was an early launch at my place). So, the only logical thing I deduced from all this is: the BT module used in the device is CRAP!!!
I do hope I can find ways to improve it, but since it looks like it's a hardware issue, so not much hope there... Make no mistake. Using it as a pure basic music player is great, though.
If anyone could shed some light into this matter, any efforts are much appreciated.

I am annoyed with my 522.
At least 1 real 3.5mm head phone connector would have been nice.
What I would like to see is MSI backing this unit up with a range of better earphones or headphones.
It is impossible to buy any 2.5mm with a mic that work in the shops. Tiried my mda compact supplied phones. no joy.
The unit works well, my complaints are
1) An audio beep when incoming bluetooth would be nice, not just a fade.
2) Bluetooth volume passed to the headset is low, I can hardly hear calls when in noisey stations , streets.
Please MSI fix number 2.
I have not had the echo problem.
3) A better cover and belt clip/.arm clip. The one supplied is crap and is so tight the bluetooth button keeps engaging muting the sound.
Intermitant crashes , but sound is not bad.
Please MSI give me the chance to buy better phones. Ideally a 2.5mm fly lead , with a mic on for voice calls and a real 3.5mm headphone socket for my choice of phones.

5536 and 5540 can playback avi and .mov video files, but these files codec must be M-JPEG format!!
Please attention: 5536 didn’t playback MP4 or WMV video formats, and also couldn’t reveal these files!!
“Quick Time7 Pro” and ““Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25” converting software can support 5536/5540 video format (M-JPEG) to playback, but “QuickTime7 Pro” isn’t free, you have to purchase it, and “Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25” is free, but only can use 30 days. Please go to below website to download it and you have to register and login!!
(http://www.canopus.com/products/demos/index.php)
When you download “Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25”, please modify file name to “ProCoderDemo_1_25.exe”, then this file just can become execution file, after installation you have to check video and audio codec, have a little trouble, I will explain how do set M-JPEG codec!!
When you perform “Canopus ProCoder” software, you will find out “Source”, “Target” and “Convert” selection, please go to “Source” and add which video you want to convert, next please go to “Target” and choose “Add” selection, then choose “QuickTime file” in the basic, after that, you will detect “Target Parameters” on the right, please according to below codec format to set, finally, please go to “Convert” selection to begin converting!!
Video setting:
Width: 320
Height: 240
Frame Rate(fps): 10.000
Interlacing: Non-Interlaced
Aspect Ratio: Video: [4:3], Pixel: [1:1]
Encoder: Apple Photo JPEG or Apple Motion JPEG A
Codec options: Click for Codec Properties
Audio setting:
Channels: Stereo
Sample Rate(kHz): 11.025
Bits / Sample: 16
Encoder: 16-bit Big Endian
Codec options: Click for Codec Properties
By the way, You can select another sample rate parameter on the audio setting, but you can only choose 10.000 frame rate (fps) on the video setting, this value will influence whether can playback after converting video, so this setting is very importantly!!
Please try again!!

MSI Mega Player 538...

I'm sorry for a bit of a repost...
Has anyone here tried using 1GB MMC or SD flash card with the MSI Mega 538 (or 533 player)??? Which card?
I have a MEGA 538 (it looks preety much exactly the same as MEGA 533), and a 512MB MMC card to go with it... I'd like to buy 1GB card, but I'm unsure could/would anty damage occur to the card/player if I were to insert 1GB card into the 538 (because the manual lists 512MB as the limit).
I'm asking this because I used to have the same dillema back when I was buying Nokia's N-Gage... It also stated in the Nokia's manual 256MB MMC size as the limit, but as it turned out worked with a 512MB card... Are there 1GB cards out there that would work fine with 538/533?!

Another day, another ideas... But still can't find a solution ! I've searched the net for infos and:
http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/archive/2005/01/03/345926.aspx
On this blog Michael Swanson has the similar problems with usb 2.0. He solved it by buying another usb card. But I won't do it. I think the problem is more involved, than just downloading drivers. I've tried a lot of drivers but the result is nothing more than a freezing windows . So I give it up, waiting for smarter people helping me out...

Can anyone tell me how to solve it? Even i had updated the firmware to the newest but the problems still occur.

MSI Mega Player 516 Firmware

I really hate the fact that this player does not recognize the tags of the media files in it and sort the files and deal with them by ID tags, also the playlist function in the new firmware is very basic and awkward also. every time i want to make a specefic order to an album i have to rename it by track number before track name, will be any improvements ?

The latest firmware version is v1.05.00B, please update this version and try again!!

MSI mega player 533 - quick question

I have an MSI 533 MEGA PLAYER with 256mb integrated memory (without fm) , i have upgraded the firmware to a newer version in january06 (dont know wich version ) , and everything works fine.
Now, i would like to buy a Secure Digital card with 2048MB (Kingston) for it , but i have read somewhere that the player cannot read very large memory cards , but it doesnt say HOW LARGE ! ( if that is true at all )
SO , my question is how much more memory can i put into my mp3 player ? i would like to put as much as possible ! 1 gb is fine but 2 is better.
are all manufacturers SD cards compatable with the 533?
thanks !

In the past I had tried to use “Kingmax” and “Sandisk” 2GB SD card, and those cards can be worked well on 5533, so 5533 is supposed to support 2GB SD/MMC card, but it must be latest F/W version v2.00.02, if your 5533 is not, please follow below procedure to update!!
MS-5533 firmware update process: (Don't put battery)
1. Please download and install the latest firmware (V2.00.02) and driver (V1.672)!!
F/W website link:
(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/firmware/frm/spt_frm_ia_detail.php?UID=617)
Driver website link:

2. After firmware unzipping, it will show some files, please replace driver installation files (C:\Program Files\MSI\MS-5533)
3. Please press sustained “play key” first, then plug your mega player 533 in your PC.
4. Please go to "start" (below left corner) and enter "programs" and choose "MSI MS-5533" update now!!!
5. As you update firmware that you have to select "format data area" and after update success, you can release of your finger.
Please note: (1) Don't put battery before updating. (2) The step 3 is very important, please must press sustained “play key” first, then connect to your PC. (3) Please have to select "format data area" while update firmware. (4) Please remove previous driver first and install latest driver edition 1.672. (5) When you update F/W, please pass over all massages first from OS response and continue updating till success!!

New MSI Mega 180: Some problems...

I've just bought a new MSI Mega 180... and I've come up with some problems:
I can't get the radio to be detected in windows... not sure why. When I load, radio webupdate, it comes up with: Cannot find radio module.
I can't get into the Wireless configuration monitor. If you select Gateway or AP mode, and then hit configure, it comes up with a pw prompt, and I can't find what to put in there... that's driving me nuts...
When I'm running windows, the front panel is compleatly black, should it be showing anything?

The clock should be on or if you installed PC Alert it would show the CPU temp. and stuff like that. I think media centre 3 shows something on the display (I can't get it installed)
Can't answer your other questions.
