Introduction
This product is not just an external hard drive – it is also a media player. It can be connected to a
TV or to any monitor which can then play music and display your digital photos and lms. With
some simple adjustments you can also play music from it without a screen.
Technical requirements
• Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP, Mac 9.0 or later, Linux 2.4 or later
• USB 2.0 or USB 1.1
Safety precautions
• Do not drop the unit. Do not knock or shake it either. If it is treated roughly the circuits
and hard drive can be broken.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
• Always unplug the charger when the player is not in use.
• The player’s aluminium chassis can get warm – hold at the sides when moving the player.
• Do not turn off the player while it is playing.
• Do not use a USB cable longer than 3 m as this can disrupt the connection. Please use the
USB cable supplied with the player.
• Avoid water and damp.
• Do not place the player/remote control/battery in direct sunlight or expose it to heat
sources.
• Do not place the player close to equipment that emits strong magnetic signals as this can
lead to damaged or lost data.
• Avoid using a USB hub as these often supply too little current. This may lead to the hard
drive failing to respond.

Hard drive
Installing/changing the hard drive is a simple process.
The hard drive must be a 2.5’ IDE type. The hard drive should be set as “MASTER” or
“SINGLE MODE” if those settings are available. Replacing your current hard drive will not
normally involve any changes. Follow the description of the correct procedure below. Remember
that the hard drive may need to be formatted after installation, see next chapter.
Important!
Remove any static electricity from your body before you open the unit. The simplest way is for you to touch a
(neutral) pipe in the heating system or an unpainted water-pipe.
1. Open the unit by pressing in the tab on the back and then removing the back panel.
Remove the lid on the upper side.
2. Remove the circuit board by sliding it backwards.
3. When replacing the hard drive, turn the circuit board and loosen the four screws. Pull the
hard drive straight back to remove.
To install: align the hard drive with the circuit board’s contacts and carefully insert the
hard drive until it is in full contact; line up the screw holes on the underside. Insert the
four screw that x the hard drive.
4. Put the circuit board back by sliding it along the grooves. Replace the lid and the back panel.

the player will be connected use Windows 98SE/ME, Mac 9.0 or later, Linux 2.4 or later, it must
be formatted with FAT32.

To connect cd200 to external units
The cd200 supports composite and component for video, as well as stereo and 5.1 (coaxial) for
audio. See the example below.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not connect the USB cable when cd200 is connected to an external screen. If the USB cable is connected to
the computer cd200 will not function as a player but only as an external hard drive.
Composite - video and stereo - audio
Connect the AV cable (yellow, white, red) to the equivalent socket on your TV/screen/projector
and to the AV socket on cd200. A SCART adapter may be needed to connect to a TV (not
included).
Alternatively composite video (yellow) and stereo (red=R right, white=L left) can be connected
to various items of equipment e.g. projector and stereo. Extra cables will be needed for this (not
included).
Composite video and 5.1 audio
Connect the AV cable (yellow) to the equivalent socket on your TV/screen/projector and to the
AV socket on cd200. A SCART adapter may be needed to connect to a TV (not included).
Connect the black Coaxial cable to the equivalent socket on your surround system and to the
IR/5.1 socket on cd200 to experience the digital sound. DoblyDigital can be broadcast decoded,
but bear in mind that your surround system must be able to decode DTS in order for that format
to work. Digital sound is activated by the SETUP menu, AUDIO Setup and Encoded
Digital. Extra cables may be needed if the items of equipment are positioned too far apart (not
included).
You should also bear in mind that the volume control will not work when playing 5.1 audio – the
sound level must be adjusted by the surround system.
Component - video and stereo - audio
Connect the Component cable (red, green, blue) to the equivalent socket on your TV/screen/
projector and to the SD/HD socket on cd200.
Connect the AV cable (yellow, white, red) to the AV socket on cd200 and stereo (red=R right,
white=L left) to the equivalent connector on your TV/stereo.
Component video and 5.1 audio
Connect the Component cable (red, green, blue) to the equivalent socket on your TV/screen/
projector and to the SD/HD socket on cd200.
Connect the black Coaxial cable to the equivalent socket on your surround system and to the
IR/5.1 socket on cd200 to experience the digital sound. DoblyDigital can be broadcast decoded,
but bear in mind that your surround system must be able to decode DTS in order for that format
to work. Digital sound is activated by the SETUP menu, AUDIO Setup and Encoded
