4. Getting Started
4.1 Connecting to the computer
The player can be connected or disconnected from the computer without having to turn the computer
off. The player will automatically be allocated a device letter by the computer.
The MP player does not have to be restarted before transferring les.
The following installation instructions apply for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed.
4.1.1InstallationusingWindowsXP
1. No extra driver is required for Windows XP (if your computer is running Win98SE, you must install
the driver provided on the CD before connecting the player to your computer).
2. Connect the supplied USB cable to a vacant USB port on the computer and then to the player’s
USB port (2).
. The computer will automatically recognise the player as “Removable Storage Device” and allo-
cates it its own device symbol/letter in “My Computer” (the player’s memory and the memory card
will each receive their own device letter).
4.1.2Transferringles
When a connection has been made pictures, music and videos can be transferred to the player.
1. Select the les on your computer. Right-click and Copythe les.

vary depending on the conguration of your computer.
