About X-Fi 
X-Fi (Xtreme Fidelity) is a new audio standard from Creative that enhances your music and 
movies. ZiiOs X-Fi enhancement consists of 2 components:  
  
zX-Fi Crystalizer. Intelligently restores details that were lost during compression of 
audio files. It makes audio richer and clearer, delivering sound that is closer to the 
original quality.  
zX-Fi Expand. Gives audio a realistic and natural feel, akin to a live performance on 
stage.  
  
Note:  
When using your ZiiO together with other X-Fi enhanced accessories (such as X-Fi 
headphones or external speakers), make sure that X-Fi is enabled on either the ZiiO tablet 
or the accessory only.
