3.14 File Transfer

load any compatible audio files (.wav, .mp3, unprotected .wma) from an external source, through the USB
cable.
3.14.1
Laptop transfer
Due to the transfer rate advantages, we recommend that you transfer files from a laptop to the PMA8000B
MP3 if possible. Direct USB device transfer requires 35-40 minutes to transfer 1G of songs; Laptops typi-
cally require 4-6 minutes for the same amount of data with USB 2 port.
PS Engineering recommends Microsoft XP operating system or later.

USB port.
