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.
The built-in Bluetooth wireless technology
turns your MP3 player into your own
personal network.
COLOUR LCD SCREEN DESIGN
Vivid colour and images are delivered on the
wide LCD screen.

It provides various feedbacks on your thumb
or fingers touch on the touch screen.

on your main menu screen for your
convenience, providing direct and easy
access.

icons on the background.
LONGER PLAY TIME AND SHORTER
DOWNLOADING!
A fully charged battery can play up to 30
hours of music and 5 hours of video (when
using the earphones).
Download times are shorter. Because of its
USB 2.0 capability, the player is much faster
than models with USB 1.1.
ACOUSTIC WONDER
Your new MP3 player has built-in DNSe™
(Digital Natural Sound engine), Samsung’s
unique sound technology created to deliver
richer, deeper sound for an unbelievable
listening experience.
