Storing Data Other Than Audio Files

You can store computer data on the hard disk built into the player by transferring it from your computer with Windows Explorer.

The player’s hard disk appears in Windows Explorer as a removable storage drive.

Notes

•Do not use CONNECT Player while using Windows Explorer to interact with the player’s hard disk.

•Always use CONNECT Player to transfer to the player audio files that you want to play. Audio files transferred with Windows Explorer cannot be played by the player.

•Do not disconnect the USB cable while transferring data between a computer and the player because the data being transferred could be damaged.

•Do not initialize the player’s hard disk from the computer. If the player’s hard disk must be initialized, follow the initialization procedure on  page 55.

•The size shown in Windows Explorer for the player’s hard disk is smaller than the actual size of the disk, because the player uses a value of 1,000,000,000 bytes for 1 GB, while the Windows operating system uses a value of 1,073,741,824 bytes for 1 GB.

On the player, the hard disk size is displayed as shown below. NW-A1000 series: approx. 5.6 GB (5,980,979,200 Bytes) NW-A3000 series: approx. 18.2 GB (19,542,409,216 Bytes)
