Installing Philips Media Manager

Place the Philips Media Manager CD in your CD or DVD drive and install the Philips Media Manager software.

The CD starts automatically. If it does not, double-click ‘My Computer’, then the CD-ROM drive icon and finally ‘Setup.exe’ to start the CD.

In the menu that appears on your computer screen, click ‘Install Philips Media Manager’, and follow the on-screen instructions.

When opening the Philips Media Manager for the first time, you will be asked if you want to add a folder and scan for audio files. Open a drive or a folder with audio files in it. (For example: the My Documents folder, if you have stored audio files there.)

– You can always add more files and folders later.
