When all necessary connections are completed, AC power cord (mains lead) to the wall outlet (mains) and then

Note
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER is equipped with a built-in antenna for wireless LAN. Make sure to keep a distance
between the HDD AUDIO PLAYER and speakers or other devices to maintain good wireless communication.
Hint
We recommend using a wired LAN when you transfer a large number of music files from your computer to the HDD
AUDIO PLAYER, such as when you transfer music files for the first time, to save transfer time.
It may take a while before the file registration is completed, as transferring, analyzing and registering music files takes
time when a large number of music files are transferred to the HDD AUDIO PLAYER.
