I can’t get to my main menu by pushing the menu button. Am I missing something?
I have a brand new Clip 2GB. I put some mp3s on it as per instructions. I was happily listening to music. I decided to see what else the Clip could do. So I stopped the music from playing (pause), then pushed the Menu button which simply brought me back to the “Music” Headphone page. Pushing the Menu button repeatedly simply toggles between the paused song and the “Music” headphones page.
I downloaded the latest firmware update (2.0.xx?). This didn’t help.
The only thing that seems to work is when I get the “Music” Headphones page, I can push upward and downward on the control disc, and it cycles through Music - FM Radio - Voice - Settings - Music. But no Main menu.
I’ve tried searching the Sansa Clip Knowledgebase with +menu, but got lots of hits. I looked around, but didn’t see anyone else having this problem. And I can’t pull the batteries out to reset it. :-) (BTW, I did reset (15 secs up power slider) and it did nothing.)
set Autopower Off and Sleep, (I want this feature)
set the Display’s Backlight Timer and Brightness,(I want this feature too)
be able to Reset All and Save to Factory Settings (this may solve everything!)
get to System Info to see the Firmware Revision, Available Memory, Number of Songs Loaded? (I’d like this feature too)
If I can’t access these options as a new Clip should, I’d like to return the Clip to you at Sansa/Sandisk and get a new one. I didn’t pay for a malfunctioning Clip which only uses a subset of the commands.

All those things you said that you want to have are in the Settings. It’s the equalizer you see on the main menu. It is there because those thing that you want to modify are settings. So, look for the equalizer, press the center button and you will find all those options.
I can play music, I can make it repeat or go to the next song, but that’s all I can do. I tried some of the things suggested by a previous questioner, but none of them work. When I turn the device on, all I get is the little headphones icon with “music” listed. No combination of buttons lets me get to any other screen, let alone the main one. I have the latest firmware, and have tried resetting several times. I’m very disappointed. I loved my Clip 2G, but was running out of space, so wanted this 4G. Am now thinking I’ll have to return it. Can anyone help me?
Sandisk Clip shows only the FM (Radio) menu.m Each button does something but I can´t go back to the main menu to listen MP3. Center button does not lead me back to the main menu. Reset did not help, Firmwareupdate is not possible. Running out of ideas.
Thanks for trying to help me, but shame on me - I have the player since years and my mistake was that I did not press the “home” button . Long pressing locks and unlocks the player. I tried everything but no short press on that button.Bought a new player now and when I received it I found out what I did wrong. Okay now I have to players and you may be able to help if someone is as silly as me…By the way - I was working in the tech support for years… shame on me and thanks again
just wanted to say thank you!! the instruction book should tell you to peel off the screen cover! i thought there was one but was worried about damaging the little player! anyway, thanks ~moineau xoxoxooxox
What is the home button? I am stuck in radio and in my research I am being told to press the home button to go to the menu, but the manual doesn’t say what the home button is.

Than ks for this. My sandisk clip doesn’t look like the image in the manual posted. I’ve been looking at a different manual that didn’t even mention home buttons. However, I found directions for a disk without a home button that involved some rather complicated button pushes that I will have to look up if this happens again.
This is the Clip+ (which I assumed, maybe incorrectly that you had):
This is the original Clip:
And the is the Clip Zip:
You’ll notice the HOME or MENU button is in a different location on the Zip, but they all work basically the same. The original Clip does not have a slot for an external MicroSD card, where all the models (except the newest Sport Plus) since then do.
