REGISTER 3PLAY
Registration is required to remove the watermark from
output, in part to encourage you to register early.
Doing so will serve to identify the unit to NewTek as
yours in case of theft, and will also allow you to check for
software updates that may have been recently released.
(The steps in the Registration process were outlined back
in Section 3.2, so we won’t repeat them here.)
UPDATE 3PLAY
Periodically, NewTek may provide software updates for your 3Play. Updates can enhance performance,
security or even add useful new features. If the system is connected to the internet, clicking Update 3Play
will walk you through the process of checking for new software patches provided by NewTek. This way
you can be sure the very latest version of the software for your system is installed.
Tip: If you wish, you can download updates to another computer connected to the Internet, then transfer
the downloaded files to 3Play using a network connection or perhaps a USB thumb-drive.
DEFRAGMENT ALL DRIVES
Over the course of time, storage volumes devoted to audio
and video storage can become fragmented. Eventually, this
can degrade playback performance. Defragmenting corrects
this condition.
You could think of your hard drive as being like a shelf in your
library. As time goes along, the shelf fills with books (data).
Some are large while others are small, just as 3Play session
content may be larger or smaller.
To make room for new additions, you decide to remove books
you have finished with from the shelf.
You remove a book here, another there, opening up gaps between the remaining books. This makes some
shelf space available, but does so in the form of gaps separated by the remaining books. Sadly, when you
obtain another large book, it may be too big to fit in any one of the gaps.
A foolish librarian might tear the new book into sections just big enough to fit into the open spaces on the
shelf. This is would obviously be unwise. When you wish to refer to the book later you will lose a lot of
