Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment. The Bluetooth antenna (aerial) is built into the player ( page 10). The sensitivity of Bluetooth communication will improve by turning the direction of the built-in Bluetooth antenna (aerial) to the connected Bluetooth device. The communication distance shortens when the obstacles are between the connected device and the player. The following conditions may cause noise, sound break or playback speed change. When using inside the metal bag. When using inside the backpack or shoulder bag. A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or microwave oven, is in use near the player or the device. Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur and resulting in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if Bluetooth communication is performed near a wireless LAN device. In such a case, perform the following. Perform Bluetooth communication at least 10 meters (about 30 feet) away from the wireless LAN device. Install the player and Bluetooth device as near to each other as possible. When performing Bluetooth communication within about 10 meters (about 30 feet) of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device first. Due to the characteristic of Bluetooth wireless technology, the sound played on the Bluetooth device is slightly delayed from the sound played on the player. Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off the player and other Bluetooth device in the following locations, as it may cause an accident. where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, airplane, or a petrol station. near automatic doors or a fire alarm.

However, folders beyond the 1st level and files beyond the 2nd level will not be recognized. 3rd Index (On the player) Video files are displayed in the order they are transferred by dragging and dropping. (The latest data is at the top.) Hint You can set JPEG files as a thumbnails of video files, by placing JPEG files in the corresponding video folders. When you display the video list, you can see the thumbnails (small pictures to display on the menu) for the video files on the player. To display a thumbnail for a video file, create a JPEG file (horizontal 160 × vertical 120 dots, extension: .jpg) and name it the same as the desired video file, then store it in the video file folder.

On the 1st level, the “PICTURE” folder will recognize either a file or a folder. Only files on the 2nd level will be recognized by “PICTURE” folder. However, beyond the 2nd level, neither files nor folders will be recognized. 3rd (On the player) Folders under the “PICTURE” folder is displayed in alphabetical order. Files in the 1st level of the “PICTURE” folder are stored in thefolder. Index * Data hierarchy of “PICTURES” is the same as the “PICTURE” folder. 120 Useful Facts Table of Contents What are Format and Bit Rate? What is audio format? Audio format refers to the method used when importing audio data from the Internet or audio CDs to a computer and saving it as an audio file. Common formats include MP3 and WMA, etc. Menu MP3: MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer3) is a common audio compression technology developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). MP3 can compress audio files to about 1/10 the size of standard CD audio files. Index WMA: WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a common audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. The WMA format produces the same sound quality as that of the MP3 format with a smaller file size. AAC: AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a common audio compression technology developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). The AAC format produces the same sound quality as that of the MP3 format, with a smaller file size. Linear PCM: Linear PCM is an audio recording format without digital compression. You can listen to the sound with the same quality as CD music by recording with this format. What is bit rate? Bit rate refers to the amount of data used to store each second of audio. Generally, higher bit rates provide better sound quality, but require more storage space for the same length of audio. What is the relationship between bit rate, sound quality, and storage size? Generally, higher bit rates provide better sound quality, but require more storage space for the same length of audio, so you can store fewer songs on the player. Lower bit rates enable you to store more songs, but at a lower sound quality. Note If you import a song from a CD to your computer at a low bit rate, you cannot improve the song’s sound quality by selecting a high bit rate when transferring the song from the computer to the player. Continued 121 Useful Facts Video format refers to the method used when importing video and audio data to a computer and saving it as a video file. Common formats include MPEG-4 and AVC, etc. What is photo format? Photo format refers to the method used when importing images to a computer and saving them as image files. Common formats include JPEG, etc. JPEG: JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a common image compression format developed by the JPEG. JPEG can compress an image file to about 1/10 to 1/100 the size of original image files. For details on acceptable formats and bit rates for this player For details on supported file formats and bit rates, see page 154. Index AVC: AVC refers to Advanced Video Coding, developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). It enables production of more vivid images at a lower bit rate. AVC files include four profiles, and “AVC Baseline Profile” is one of them. AVC format is based on the MPEG-4 AVC standard of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization), and since AVC is standardized as the MPEG-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding, it is commonly referred to as MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 or H.264/AVC. Menu MPEG-4: MPEG-4 refers to Moving Picture Experts Group phase 4, developed by the MPEG working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). The compression format is for video and audio data. Table of Contents What is video format? 122 Useful Facts Menu You can store computer data into the built-in flash memory of the player by transferring the data from your computer using Windows Explorer, or another transfer capable software. If the player is connected to the computer, the builtin flash memory appears in Windows Explorer as [WALKMAN.] Table of Contents Storing Data Notes Index Do not use the supplied software while using Windows Explorer to interact with the built-in flash memory of the player. Do not disconnect the supplied USB cable while “Do not disconnect.” that appears during data transfer is displayed. The data could be damaged. Do not format the built-in flash memory using Windows Explorer. If you format the built-in flash memory, format it on the player ( page 110). You cannot change folder names or delete the “MUSIC,” “MP_ROOT,” “VIDEO,” “PICTURES,” and “PICTURE” folders. Do not change folder or file names directly under the “MP_ROOT” or “MPE_ROOT” folder. Otherwise, they will not be displayed on the player.
