and vibrant pictures. You’ll love your new MP3 player, whether you’re
exercising, downloading your favorite tunes, watching videos, or even
listening to FM Radio.
Use it once, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
PUTTING THE “MULTI” IN MULTIMEDIA
We call it an MP3 player, but it’s much more
than that. It allows you to view pictures, text,
videos and listen to FM radio.
USER BUTTON FOR INSTANT CONTROL
You can access the function directly with the
user button in each mode.
COLOUR LCD SCREEN DESIGN
Vivid colour and images are delivered on the
wide LCD screen.
EXTERNAL MICROSD CARD

you to enjoy photos and music files in an
external device such as a mobile phone or
digital camera.
LONGER PLAY TIME AND SHORTER
DOWNLOADING!
A fully charged battery can play up to 22
hours of music and 4 hours of video.

(Digital Natural Sound engine), Samsung’s
unique sound technology created to deliver
