Complete Guide to Your Entré Entertainment Hub, ver. 2.0

How do I Install Kenwood Entré Media Manager Software?

Media Manager software allows Entré and your computer to share music files

downloaded from the Internet or your portable digital music player. This

powerful tool makes it easy to move music between Entré and your computer,

all from the comfort of your computer workstation.

To download the media manager:

1. Visit http://www.kenwoodusa.com/register/cddbnews.jsp#entre. Once the

download begins, you are prompted to save the installation files to your

computer.

2. Note the directory where you saved the file.
3. The file you download is a .ZIP file (meaning it is compressed and contains

several files). Locate the file and unzip it. If you do not have a zip utility,

visit www.winzip.com for a free trial copy.

Once the files are unzipped into their own directory, you are ready to install.

To install the media manager:

1. Double-click

MediaManager [version].exe

2. Follow the instructions on-screen.

To begin using Kenwood Entré Media Manager, select it from the Windows

Start|Progams menu.

If Media Manager cannot see your Entré, check the version number of the Entré

software (see “Utilities Information” on page 34 for instruction) and of the

Media Manager (click Help|About). They should both be the most recent

versions available. If you need further help, contact Kenwood customer

support. Be prepared to provide the version information for both Entré and

Media Manager.
