Tags
Adjust Tags menu settings if the Rio Forge displays random alphabet characters instead of the correct 
ID3 Tags
.
The Rio Forge supports Latin- and Japanese-based languages. If ID3 tags are displayed properly then Tags menu 
settings do not need to be changed.
Rio Music Manager encodes tracks tags using the Unicode method. Properly tagged (Unicode) tracks are unaf-
fected by changes to the Tags menu settings. All WMA tracks are Unicode. 
Press MENU.
Select Settings.
Select Tags.
Select ASCII (the default setting), UTF-8, or Shift-JIS.
Press CENTER to apply settings and return to Player mode.
