Hint
- We recommend using a wired LAN when you transfer a large number of music files from your computer to the HDD AUDIO PLAYER, such as when you transfer music files for the first time, to save transfer time.
- It may take a while before the file registration is completed, as transferring, analyzing and registering music files takes time when a large number of music files are transferred to the HDD AUDIO PLAYER.
