In order to fully use the E2GO MP-2000, you will need to connect it to your personal com-
puter. This will allow you to transfer video, music, and photo files from your PC’s hard drive
to the hard disk on the MP-2000.
Windows 98SE or Windows Me Users: Please make sure the appropriate drivers
are installed before proceeding. See p. 12 for details.
1.
(For Windows 98/ME users, please ensure that you have installed the device drivers
from the enclosed CD Rom before proceeding)
Connect the supplied USB (2.0) cable to
your PC. The larger end should fit into the USB port on your computer.
NOTE: (Due to the
higher transfer speed of USB 2.0, Apex recommends that your computer support this ver-
sion. USB 2.0 is version 1.1 backwards compatible, however at a much slower data trans-
fer speed).
2. Connect the USB cable to the MP-2000. The smaller end will fit into the USB port on the
side of the unit (see item 18, p. 9)
3. A message should appear on your PC monitor, saying that a USB device - “MP-2000”,
has been found, and that it is available for use.
4. To verify that the unit is connected, go to My Computer. You should see a drive listed as
MP-2000, followed by a drive letter. Double-click that drive. Your unit’s LCD screen will also
indicate that the USB is connected. You are now ready to transfer files to your MP-2000 for
viewing or listening!
Once the MP-2000 has been connected, you may transfer files to it from your PC. See
above for connecting the unit to your computer.
Important:
It is recommended that compatible Audio content be copied into the AUDIO subfolder off of
the root of the device.
Video content MUST be copied into the VIDEO subfolder off of the root of the device to be
properly recognized by the device.
Photo content MUST be copied into the PHOTOS subfolder off of the root of the device to
be properly recognized by the device.
Note:
There may be circumstances where a multimedia file that is transferred from your comput-
er to the MP-2000 may not work properly. THIS IS NOT A MALFUNCTION OF THE MP-
2000 - this is a common occurence with media files due to the differences in how the orig-
inal file was encoded.
