PUTTING THE “MULTI” IN MULTIMEDIA
EASY SEARCH!
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.
You can search for files with the easy-touse File Brower, and also navigate through
menus while listening to music.
TOUCH NAVIGATION!
You can tap on the touch screen to navigate
through the menus.
COLOR LCD SCREEN DESIGN
Vivid color and images are delivered on the
wide LCD screen.
WHERE FORM MEETS FUNCTION
Sure, it’s sleek and good-looking. But it’s
easy to hold and use, too.
LONGER PLAY TIME AND SHORTER
DOWNLOADING!
A fully charged battery can play up to 35
hours of music and 5 hours of video.
Download times are shorter. Because of its
USB 2.0 capability, the player is much faster
than models with USB 1.1.

(Digital Natural Sound engine), Samsung’s
unique sound technology created to deliver
