The innovative iMP-50 comes stacked to the gills with features like broad format compatibility, pre-
buffering anti-skip protection, firmware upgrade ability, a graphic LCD with multi-language display, and
packet-write format readability so the player can double as a hard-drive extension (using data CD-RWs).
The player supports music CDs, home-made CD-R and CD-RW with MP3, WMA (Windows Media Au-
dio), multi-session discs (discs burned at different points over time), and Microsoft's Advanced Systems Format
(ASF). New formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, and so on can be supported in the future through a simple firm-
ware upgrade. The iMP-50 also supports Winamp playlists as long as they use the file extension m3u (maxi-
mum 20 lists).
The player gives you a healthy four minutes anti-skip protection for MP3 and WMA files. By applying
iRiver's own special algorithm, the iMP-50 provides better performance against shock than standard anti-skip
algorithms. At the same time, iRiver maximizes protection at the beginning of songs through pre-buffering.
The iMP-50's graphic LCD that supports multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, German,
Italian, other alphabet-oriented fonts, Korean, Japanese (Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji), and others. It supports
a total of 36 languages.
With MP3 and WMA files, the iMP-50 can play for 16 hours on two AA alkaline batteries (supplied) or
seven hours with audio CD playback. Additional formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, and so on may be supported
in the future through a simple firmware upgrade.
Eight equalizer presets, a custom EQ mode, and separate electronic bass and treble controls are all at your
disposal when it comes to tailoring the sound to your taste or compensating for speakers, headphones, or listen-
ing environment. A hold switch prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating
playback when the player is stopped. Other features include repeat and shuffle play, resume, bookmarking,
sound fade in, intro scan, and track programming.

POWER AND SAFETY
You don't have two arms, two legs and two eyes so that it doesn't matter so much when you lose one.
Safety in the garden is pretty much common sense, but unfortunately none of the tools you're using will have
any at all Every tool that can do you any serious damage will have information on how to use it correctly and
safely. Read these instructions before you use the tool, not after and definitely not during. If the manufacturer
recommends wearing safety equipment of any kind, that is probably because someone has already done some-
thing stupid and brought the potential danger to everyone's attention.
If you're using any tool that is going to start sending material flying through the air, then get some goggles
over your eyes. Only Superman moves faster than a speeding bullet, and even he never messes with circular
saws, masonry drills and the like
Tools that are sharp are made that way so that they will cut into anything and everything they come in con-
tact with – make sure that isn't you. Ironically, sharp tools are probably more dangerous when you let them get
blunt; it's then that they will tend to slip and seek out your unsuspecting fingers.
Corded power tools have a large whack of electricity running up the cable towards them. If you cut through
that cable there is every chance you will become part of the ring main in your house. Whenever you use power
tools outside, always make sure they are connected to the mains by what's called a residual current device
(RCD): this little box will shut down the power as soon as it detects any disruption in the current, like you cut-
ting through the cable with your jigsaw.
If you plan to have power out in the garden permanently, for exterior sockets perhaps or outdoor lighting,
you must either get a qualified contractor to install a 240v system buried in proper protective conduits with
