What is CD information?
CD information is a track name, an artist name and an album name included in an audio file. When
you insert an audio CD into CD drive of your computer, SonicStage will automatically obtain the
CD information from CDDB (Gracenote CD DataBase) via Internet.
You cannot obtain the CD information from CDDB if the CD is not registered at CDDB.

• The recorded music is limited to private use only. Use of the music beyond this limit requires permission of the
copyright holders.
• Sony is not responsible for incomplete recording/downloading or damaged data due to problems of the
Network Walkman or computer.
• Do not disconnect the USB cable while the data is being transferred. If you do, the data being transferred may
be destroyed.
• When you record an audio CD for the first time, [CD Drive Check] will be performed. Record the audio CD
when it is completed.
• The number of transfers for an audio file may be limited for reasons of copyright.
• If the USB cable is disconnected while the data is being transferred, unnecessary data may be left in the
Network Walkman. In this case, transfer usable audio files (included non-audio data) back to your computer
and format the Network Walkman.

Additional Information Q&A
Q1 Is there a limitation to transfer audio files to the Network
Walkman?
A1 You can transfer up to 65,535 songs, and 4,096 groups to the built-in flash memory using
SonicStage software. One group can contain up to 999 songs.
However, not be transfer to the Network Walkman may not be possible if the built-in flash
memory contains large size audio files, although the limitation is not exceeded. In such a case,
delete unnecessary files, transfer audio files not listened to back to your computer, or change
the bit rate of audio files. Bit rate indicates the data amount per second. The rate is reflected in
bps (bits per second). If the bit rate is large, that means the sound quality is better though a
large amount of information is used to play music. The Network Walkman is 64 kbps at
factory setting. Click [Settings] on the SonicStage transfer screen to change the bit rate.

Q2 Do MP3 audio files allow for use in the Network Walkman?
A2 You can import MP3 audio files to the SonicStage software and transfer MP3 audio files to
the Network Walkman using SonicStage. (You cannot play back an audio file copied directly
from Windows Explorer to the Network Walkman. You also cannot transfer the audio tracks in
an audio CD to your Network Walkman in MP3 format.)
MP3 format files to be used:
– MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3
– Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz
– Bit rate: 32 to 320 kbps, variable bit rate-compliant

Q3 Can the Network Walkman record itself?
A3 The Network Walkman cannot record itself. Import desired audio files to the SonicStage
software and transfer them to the Network Walkman using SonicStage.

Q4 Can I expand the built-in flash memory?
A4 You cannot expand the built-in flash memory.

Q5 Can the Network Walkman be protected against accidental
operation?
A5 You can protect the Network Walkman by setting the GROUP/HOLD switch to HOLD. The
HOLD function will prevent unnecessary power consumption caused by accidental operation
when carrying it. All operation buttons are disabled and if you press buttons while the HOLD
function is activated, “HOLD” blinks in the display.

Q6 Can I store non-audio data into the Network Walkman?
A6 You can transfer data from the hard disk of your computer to the built-in flash memory using
Windows Explorer. The built-in flash memory is displayed in Windows Explorer as an
external drive (for example: as the D drive). If you store a lot of non-audio data into the builtin flash memory, the space for audio data is reduced by the same amount.

Q7 Is there a power switch on the Network Walkman?
A7 There is no power switch on the Network Walkman. The display turns off automatically when
the Network Walkman is not operated for a certain period to conserve power.
