What can I do? Please help.

Hello Zxcv,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Have you tried doing a reset? Gently press the reset hole located on the left side (with the player facing up) using a pin or a paper clip. See if that hel

Hi, i just bought my Zen V plus 4 daes ago.
Recently the screen appears to have a black line across.
Is there anyway to solve it's or can i exchange for a new one?
Thanks

I too have this problem, up until today it was a black line at the bottom of the screen (running through the duration time of songs) today another one appeared at the top of the screen (running through the EQ mark) but this disappeared when I turned it off and turned it back on?I have this only a month - I have to say I'm really not happy ?I am going travelling soon and this is why I bought it, no doubt I'm going to have to return it and I'll have to leave without it?I'm not a happy camper!

Creative Zen V Plus Line In Record

Hi all
I am looking at getting a number of these for my workplace to use primarily as a line in/external mic recording device.
We have trialled a number of HD based recorders in the past; iRi'ver, Cowon but we have found the line in recording standard to be poor.
I was wondering if anyone has one of these and could tell me what the recording standards are like, especially regarding the volume levels of the line in recording?
The iRi'ver and Cowons both have line in recording but the volume level is so low it is pretty useless.
Thanks in advance
Tim

I use my Zen Nano Plus primarily for line in recording directly from sound systems. Line-in recordings are saved as MP3s and you can pick the encoding bitrate, either 96, 28 or 60. The recordings with the built-in microphone are saved as WAV files. I've found that for line-in recordings it's best to put in some headphones and check that the recording level (via volume control) is satisfactory. I've never used any other line-in recorders so I can't provide any comparison. Anyway, I typically use the free version of Wavepad to do an auto gain adjustment on the recordings. Hope I was of some help to you!

Creative zen micro line-in recordi

I read a review of the zen micro at CNET.com, and their short video clip tells me that the zen micro has line-in recording. However, nowhere does it state/mention that feature in the zen micro homepage, nor is it mentioned in any other site. I would just like to confirm that the zen micro doesn't have line-in recording...

Yep, the CNET.COM video review did mention about a line-in recording function. But maybe because that video was recorded way before the Zen Micro was actually launched, therefore there was a mix up in information. And so no, Creative Zen Micro does not have a line-in recording function. However, the Zen Neeon and Zen Nano Plus does have line-in recording if you're interested =)

Zen V Plus stuck in microphone/recording mode HE

HiMy brand new Zen V Plus is stuck in microphone/recording mode. I've tried holding the back button (which is what you're stupposed to do for more options) but then it just starts recording. AFter I end the recording, I'm back in microphone mode again and can't get out. I've already tried turning on/off and resetting - nothing hel
ps.
Please help if you can!ThanksDucky

I'm also having this problem and would have tremendous appreciation for anyone who could offer a solution. My Zen V Plus worked well for about three months before this problem arose, and I really enjoyed having it, so it's very dissapointing to me that it's not working anymore.
The behavior: as soon as the player is turned on, it goes into locked mode, regardless of the position of the lock toggle switch. If I toggle the lock switch, it either wakes up and then immediately goes back into locked mode or simply doesn't respond. If I'm lucky, I can get it to actually unlock by toggling the switch many times in a row, but then it will return to locked mode after a few seconds.
A few more details: I have tried doing a hard reset. I am not having any trouble syncing the player to my computer. Also, this problem creeped up slowly: it started just happening once in a while, but now it happens every time I use the player.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Lin-in recording on Zen Photo

I want to know if the Zen Micro Photo will allow line-in recording from an exterior source .
thanks, Colin

Colin,
I'm afraid not. The Zen Micro Photo player does not have a Line In jack unlike player like the Zen Neeon.

Zen Nano Plus: Line in recording from micropho

I've got a Creative Zen Nano Plus and was very happy about its ability to encode MP3s from the line in jack.
Since the integrated microphone is not very good for recording (especially loud music) I tried to connect a microphone to the line in jack. Unfortunately I had to recognise that it doesn't record anything no matter if "Sync Track" is on or off.
I'd be glad if someone can tell me what exactly the problem is. Do I need some kind of special microphone (I read somewhere that it has to be "pre-amped", whatever that may mean) or is the line in jack designed for just recording from devices like a CD player? Help is very much appreciated. :-)

Big bump.
I did some research quite a while ago and thought that I should report the results for people also having that problem.
A line-in jack is not a microphone-in jack. The difference between them is that the former is not supplied with electricity, so it can't power simple external microphones on its own. Thus, a real microphone-in jack is needed, though none of the Creative products has one included. You will still need a pre-amped microphone to get recordings with proper volume, though. A good and cheap solution is the Archos Stereo Microphone that comes with a preamplifier including volume adjust (http://www.archos.com -> Accessories -> Audio accessories).
Microphone-in jacks can be found for example in the iri'ver iFP-7** and iFP-8** series. Since this players are discontinued and newer models don't have these jacks, it's kind of hard to still use that feature.

Zen V plus line in recording with 10 minute tra

I just purchased a zen v plus specifically for recording certain programs using the line in recorder. The programs are generally /2 to 3 hours long. The problem I have is that the line in recorder breaks up the recording into 0 minute tracks. Is there a way to program or adjust the setting,so that it's not broken up into tracks?
Thanks

When you record a track, the recorded track is automatically named LINE followed by the date and time of the recording ( LINE YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ). For example, if you recorded a track on March 5, 2004 at 2:57 pm, the track is named >LINE 2004-03-5 4:57:00 . You can just extract the recorded track from the player and rename it when you have it connected to your computer.

ZEN V Plus: Record in-line with poor quali

Am I alone with my problem? In my experience there is a poor quality using the in-line opportunity for recording. My issue is recording with mic and preamp. My old mp3-player had this function and worked without any unwanted noise. The ZEN V plus adds a scratch noise. Is there a way to avoid it's Thanks

Zen V Plus Line-In Record

I'm recording various shows on TV and Satellite radio by line-in audio recording. Can anyone tell me if the V Plus can charge and record line-in at the same time? If not, how long can it line-in record before the player shuts down? I have the Nano Plus and it's just too much of a drain with the AAA battery -- only recording about /2 hours before it shuts itself off.

it does not charge and record at the same time..
im not sure about the in-line recording battery life though..

Zen Nano Plus Lin In Iss

I have a Zen Nano Plus. I purchased it for recording church messages. I run the cord from the line in to the church sound board. The recording is good, however, the nano sometimes shuts down during the middle of the sermon. What would cause this problem
? Is there a special setting or fix?Please help

Hi,
Sorry to hear you are having problems. There is no setting for this as this isn't normal behaviour. I'd suggest loading the latest firmware onto the unit and also checking the box "Format Data Area" when given the option to during the firmwares install.
The firmware is available from here .

Zen V Plus Line-in micropho

Hi, i just got a Zen V Plus and want to use a microphone with through the line-in jack on it to record with. What do I need to look for in a microphone? It needs its own power source, correct? Is there anything special I need to look for in the power supply for the mic? Would something like this: http://www.zzounds.com/item--THKMIMAB0 do the trick?
Thanks,
Scott

Here's another option - a really nice sony powered stereo condenser for the money. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ECM79/?you'll also need a /8" to 3/32" adapter

Zen V Plus freezing!! during file trans

Hi everybody.
i have a Zen V Plus GB and since i bought it (few months ago) i have the problem that the player just freeze during (big) file transfers. it happens more likely when i transfer files over 400-500mb to the player at once. but it also appears when transfering files one and one.
after it freezes i just unplug the usb cable and i have to reset the player and select Format All and Clean Up (recovery mode) to bring the player to life again.
i have send the player 2 times !! to the creative RMA and they just send it back to me (i received today) with an explanation that NO FAULT WAS FOUND but when i try to reproduce the fault IS there. the same problem over and over again.
i also tested the player on other computers as well as on other usb cables and other operating systems but the problem remains.
firmware is the newest, didnt make any difference..
Please help me!? What can i do?!

This is the same thing that has been happening to my Zen V Plus 4GB player. It is now in the hands of Creative repair for the second time. I only have a few more days of warranty left and I hope that this time when it gets back to me it is fixed. I did insist that they send me a prepaid shipping label for the second trip into the repair shop and I was firm in my request to either give me another player or replace the insides of the one I have. This time they have had the Zen V plus for two weeks and I have tried calling, with no luck. The automated site for RMA's hasn't been much help. We can't be the only ones with this problem and I hope that there will be an updated firmware somewhere down the line. I do own four other Zen V Plus 2GB players and haven't had any problems with them.
Best wishes to you.

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.
