Storing Data Other Than Audio Files

You can store computer data on the hard disk built into the player by 
transferring it from your computer with Windows Explorer.
The player’s hard disk appears in Windows Explorer as a removable storage 
drive.

•  Do not use SonicStage or CONNECT Player while using Windows Explorer to interact 

with the player’s hard disk.

•  Always use SonicStage or CONNECT Player to transfer to the player audio files that 

you want to play. Audio files transferred with Windows Explorer cannot be played by 
the player.

•  Do not disconnect the USB cable while transferring data between a computer and the 

player because the data being transferred could be damaged.

•  Do not initialize the player’s hard disk from the computer. If the player’s hard disk must 

be initialized, follow the initialization procedure on  page 65.

•  The size shown in Windows Explorer for the player’s hard disk is smaller than the 

actual size of the disk, because the player uses a value of 1,000,000,000 bytes for 1 GB, 
while the Windows operating system uses a value of 1,073,741,824 bytes for 1 GB. 
On the player, the hard disk size is displayed as shown below.
