3 Connections
3.1 Basic Connections
3.1.1 Connecting the Power Supply
To connect power to the player:
1) Make sure the power switch on the back of the player is in the off position
2) Connect the barrel connector of the AC adapter to the player’s DC IN jack
3) Connect the plug of the AC adapter to the power outlet
3.1.2 Installing an Internal Hard Disk Drive
The player has an internal drive bay for holding a hard disk drive. Media files can be stored on
the internal hard disk drive for playback, thus avoiding the need for an external storage device
during playback.
Install the hard drive by following these steps:
1) Squeeze and pull the tabs on the side of the player to slide out the drive tray.
2) Secure the 3.5” drive with the supplied hard drive screws onto the drive tray.
3) Gently slide the drive tray back into the player until the tabs lock in place. If any
resistance is felt, inspect the drive and drive tray for damage - do not force the drive tray.
It’s strongly recommended that the player be used to format the internal hard disk drive. Refer to
‘8.1.11 Format’
for more details.

port;

detected by the computer and the player’s hard drive will show up as a USB hard drive
