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 included usb cable to a vacant usb port on the computer and then to the usb
connector (B) on the player.
. The computer automatically recognises the player as “Removable Hardware” and is allocated its
own device symbol/letter in “My Computer” (the player’s internal memory and the memory card
will each receive their own device symbol/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.
2. Double-click on the device’s symbol (e.g. “F”). The device symbol allocated to your computer may
vary depending on the conguration of your computer.
