Alcor Lux MP3/MP4 player
We can navigate within the menu by shaking the device, it has digital balancing pole, pedometer and virtual dice functions as well. All of these are made possible by the built-in accelerometer (G-sensor). The design of the device is magnificent.
The elegant steel body is slim (only 8 mms) and the device has touch sensitive controls with red backlight. The 2.8” QVGA display is sharp and has perfect colours. Sound quality is also superb which is assured by the Hi-Fi Wolfson audio chip. Besides playing back the standard MP3/WMA/WAV formats, Lux also plays back FLAC and APE files. Customizing the sound is also possible by 5 band EQ and 3D surround sound effects. Other features are: built-in FM radio with recording function, voice recording through the built-in microphone with volume control, playing back digital photos and E-book (TXT) reader. It is also great for playing back video files as MPEG4 (XviD) AVI files are supported. The device also comes with three pre-installed games with great graphics: the tank battle, pirate ship and space invasion. The latter provides a whole new way of playing controlling it by the device’s G-sensor.
Lux comes with 2 or 4GB built in memory and with its USB 2.0 connector it can be easily used as an external device.

- Power on the device and select Settings à System à Upgrade option.
- A confirmation question will pop up („Upgrade Firmware?”), chose „Yes”.
- Connect the USB cable to the device once it is requested and chose the „Yes” option.
- The computer recognises the connected device as „rockusb” device. Chose „Update device driver automatically” option during driver installation. (The device driver CD may be required during the driver installation procedure.)
- After successful installation press the „Update” button of FirmwareUpdate software.
- Please be patient while the firmware is being updated as it may take a couple of minutes. The succesfull upgrade is shown by the „Firmware update successful”.
- After successful upgrade, please exit the FirmwareUpdate software.
- Disconnect the device from the computer using the „Safely remove hardware” function of the Windows.
Note: In case of failed upgrade please repeat the steps above exactly as shown. If the device can not be powered on due to failed firmware upgrade please slide the Power switch to ON (towards the part that is marked by red color) and hold it in this state while connecting the device to the computer. The switch can be released after the computer recognises the player as "rockusb" device. From this point the upgrade process is similar to above (from step 9.).
