*The available storage capacity is based on the following - 4 minutes per song, 10 songs per CD on the average, MP3 encoding at 128 kbps, while also taking into consideration that the operational software also takes up part of the product’s memory.

Hence, the free space available might be at 75 GB or less, depending on the pre- installed firmware, audio CD database and demo tracks.
