gigabeat V series

+THE SCREEN FEATURES SOME VERY BRIGHT IDEAS.
gigabeat features a new screen technology based on
Organic Light Emitting Diodes. Unlike conventional
LCD displays, OLED screens do not need a backlight
as the individual pixels generate their own light. This
reduces the amount of power they consume, and
allows them to be thinner and lighter. In addition,
colours are more vivid and OLED screens offer the
high-speed refresh rate essential for video. Plus the 3.5”
screen is large enough for a serious viewing experience,
with the colour and detail you’d expect from a high-end
entertainment system.
+A BATTERY THAT CAN DO A FULL DAY’S WORK.
gigabeat V features a high capacity, rechargeable
Li-ion battery. It can deliver up to 8* hours of continuous
video on a single charge, or up to 30* hours of audio*.
Better still, it takes only 3* hours to fully re-charge.
+THE HARD DISK DRIVE THAT MAKES IT ALL POSSIBLE.
Toshiba is the world leader in developing ever smaller
and more advanced hard disk drives. gigabeat features
Toshiba’s world-renowned 1.8” hard disk drive. This
highly reliable, shock resistant device has a 30GB
capacity – enough to store hundreds of hours’ worth of
entertainment and thousands of images, and still have
room for more.
ON THE OTHER HAND.
GIGABEAT S.
Looking for a smaller portable
media centre? gigabeat S
will slip neatly into a pocket – and
yet you won’t feel like you’re
leaving anything behind. It can
function as a video player,
jukebox, photo album, FM radio,
storage device and more.
It’s another great all-rounder.

+ PLAYSFORSURE™ MAKES IT EASY TO FIND FILES
THAT ARE SURE TO PLAY.
If you’re shopping for music or video and you want
to make sure it will play without problems, look for
the PlaysForSure™ logo. When you visit leading
online stores and see the logo you’ll know what you
buy will play perfectly on your gigabeat. Many of the best
digital music and video stores offer PlaysForSure™,
including BigPond Music, Channel Go, RipIT.com,
Sanity and many more. Visit http://www.microsoft.com/
windows/windowsmedia/playsforsure/default.aspx for
more information.
+ ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT – THE HIGH NOTES.
Gigabeat includes software that helps to compensate for
the loss of high frequencies when files are compressed
into WMA or MP3 format. This means that music played
on your gigabeat retains more of the qualities of the
original recording. Sound good?
+ NATIVE WINDOWS MEDIA VIEWER SUPPORT.
WMV is a high quality Microsoft video format. Many
video download/streaming sites now support this
format as a default standard. This gives gigabeat
owners access to large volumes of content.
+ WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER ROOM SOFTWARE
– YOU’LL NEVER NEED TO LEAVE THE ROOM.
Install Windows Media Player from the bundled CR-ROM
and you’ll have a single fast, powerful program that
will help you store and manage all your music, video,
photos and recorded TV - all from one place.
+ WATCH RECORDED TV ON YOUR GIGABEAT.
If you have Windows Media Centre Edition on
your Notebook or PC you can record any number of
programs and then transfer the files to your gigabeat
and watch them later*.

A WARRANTY SO GOOD
YOU WOULDN’T SWAP IT FOR ANYTHING.

centre for an immediate swap - no waiting.

gigabeat, you can choose to have it repaired (within
warranty guidelines).

+ GIGABEAT’S SOFT AND FRIENDLY SIDE.
It’s the software that helps make the gigabeat V so
versatile, powerful and easy to use. gigabeat is
completely compatible with Windows-based software
like Microsoft’s Windows XP Media Center Edition. This
means you can take advantage of the power of these
applications to create files that will then play seamlessly
on your gigabeat. In addition, other clever software
improves sound quality, simplifies the management of
all your digital material and makes it easy to buy or rent
compatible music or video.
+ GIGABEAT FEATURES MICROSOFT’S PORTABLE
MEDIA CENTRE EDITION (PMC).
gigabeat’s array of entertainment options can all be
accessed and controlled with Microsoft’s friendly
Portable Media Center software. This makes it easy to
use and navigate, and helps utilise the power of the hard
drive to scroll quickly through large media libraries and
find what you’re looking for.
gigabeat will also synchronise particularly well with PCs
running Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition,
software which accounts for more than 30 percent of PC
sales today. You can even set up automated synch rules
to transfer just your favourite songs, most played songs,
least played songs, new songs or many other options.
