15.3 Transferring photos to your AV 500

The AV 500 is equipped with a USB host port. This port, along with the USB Host adapter cable will allow you to connect USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) devices to your AV 500 and transfer files from that device to your AV

500.Many cameras produced today are MSC type devices. Thus you can often plug your camera directly into the AV 500’s USB Host port and copy your photos with the ARCHOS™ browser. If you do not have an MSC type camera, you can use a USB card reader and plug this into AV 500’s USB host port (via the USB host adapter cable). Finally if neither of these solutions is available to you, you can always copy the photos to your computer and then copy them from your computer to the connected AV 500 (via USB 2).

3 methods to copy photos to your AV 500

1)Connect your Mass Storage Class camera to USB Host port (via USB host adapter cable).

2)Use a stand alone USB card reader with the USB host adapter cable.

3)Copy photos to your computer and then copy (or Sync with Windows Media® Player 10) to the AV 500 (via USB 2).

Once you plug an MSC type device into the USB host port (via the host adapter cable), the browser’s left panel will show the contents of your external USB device, and the right panel will show the contents of your AV 500’s hard drive. Navigate to the panel which contains your photos (in this example /DCIM/113CANON). Move to the right panel (action) and navigate to the folder you would like to save your photos to (you can create a new folder if you need to by selecting the corresponding action icon). See the screen images on the next page.
