Dear Customer:  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start  
of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun  
and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries  
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your  
equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and  
clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting  
your sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher  
volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your  
hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your  
hearing adapts.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without  
distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.  
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment.  
Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this  
manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group  
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels  
is included for your protection.

DOWNLOADING AND TRANSFERRING FILES  
TRANSFERRING FILES  
You can download digital music files from the internet or use encoding software to convert music that  
you have on an audio CD into MP3 or WMA format. Once these files are stored on your computer you  
can easily copy them to your player.  
Connect the computer to your player using the supplied USB cable. The unit will restart or turn on  
automatically, “Welcome” will appear briefly and then the USB icon will  
appear in the display. (The player is now connected to the computer.)

open the “Removable Disk” window.  
To add more files and songs to your player simply drag and drop MP3 or  
WMA files from anywhere on your computer into the "Removable Disk"  
window. When music is stored in either of these formats, it  
can contain additional information about the tracks in an  
ID3Tag. The ID3Tag contains the Artist name, Album name,  
song Title and/or Genre (style of music). When a file is  
copied to this unit, this unit retrieves the ID3 Tag  
information from the file. The unit uses this information to  
index the file into the Artist, Album, Track, Genre categories  
displayed on the unit. If the ID3 Tag is empty, the unit will  
use the file’s file name and current directory as the Track  
name and Artists name accordingly.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The WMA file with DRM will not  
playback if you directly drag and drop it into the  
“Removable Disk” window. See pages 15-16 for  
downloading WMA files with DRM from the computer to your player.  
When you are finished, see the Safely Remove Hardware procedure on the next page before  
disconnecting the player.

“Memorex” will appear briefly and then the player will check and update the index automatically if there  
are new tracks/files which were added to the player. It will take from several seconds to several  
minutes to check/update the index (depending on the total files/tracks added). When it is finished, the
