Transfer Mode

Adjust Transfer Mode settings to change the way the Rio Carbon communicates with your computer.

1 Press MENU.

2 Select Settings.

3 Select Transfer Mode.

4 Select Auto (the default setting), MTP, or MSC.

5 Press CENTER to apply settings and return to Player mode.

Transfer Mode protocols include:

•

Auto (the default setting)

Select to let the Rio Carbon decide what mode is most appropriate for your computer. If Windows Media Player

10 (WMP10) and Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) (or greater) are installed on your computer, the Rio Carbon

will default to MTP mode functionality. If your computer does not have WMP10 and SP1 (or greater) installed,

the Rio Carbon will default to MSC mode functionality.

•

MTP

Select to set the Rio Carbon to only use the MTP protocol. MTP is an acronym for Media Transfer Protocol.

•

MSC

Select to set the Rio Carbon to only use the MSC protocol. MSC is an acronym for Mass Storage Class.

• When in MTP mode, the Rio Carbon cannot communicate properly with your computer unless it has

both WMP10 and Windows XP SP1 (or greater) installed.

• When in MTP mode, the Rio Carbon cannot display hidden files in folders, cannot allow transfers to

the root Rio Carbon directory, or allow the creation of new folders. Folders can be transferred to the

Rio Carbon using drag-and-drop and copy-and-paste methods. When in MTP mode (or Auto mode

on Windows XP systems with SP1 (or greater) and WMP10 installed), all audio files transferred to

the Rio Carbon are automatically placed in a pre-created Media folder and all non-audio files are

placed in a pre-created Data folder.

• When in MSC mode, PlaysForSure™ Audio Subscription tracks cannot be transferred to the Rio

Carbon. PlaysForSure™ Audio Subscription tracks already on the Rio Carbon will play normally.
