Quick Index
SV-Manager is a Windows application software that manages the contents of the
unit.
The SV-Manager converts the source file, i.e. Word, Excel, PDF, etc., into a format
that can be browsed by the unit and creates a file specific to this unit. The unitspecific files created by this application are registered and managed by this unit and
in the SV-Manager library (specified folder in the computer's hard drive).
The following explains the main functions of the SV-Manager using simple
illustrations. Refer to the corresponding pages.
The unit-specific files can only be managed by SV-Manager.
Create a unit-specific file directly to the unit
Create a unit-specific file directly on the unit by either printing from an application software or by
dragging and dropping the source file.

Move unit-specific files to other computers
Although unit-specific files can be managed using the SV-Manager alone, the files can be moved
to other computers, i.e. backup, etc. Use the BVD Export function to export files into file formats
that can be copied and moved using the Windows file operation. Exported files can be imported
to SV-Manager using BVD Import.

Connecting the Unit to the PC
and Memory Card Management
When a memory card is inserted into the unit, SV-Manager
recognizes the card as a removable drive, similar to when a memory
card is inserted into a general memory card reader/writer.
Unit-specific files can be managed in the SV-Manager when a
memory card in the memory card reader/writer is initialized with the
SV-Manager. When a card is inserted into the unit, the contents of
the card can be browsed on the unit.

• The SV-Manager can only manage up to 2 units simultaneously. When three or
more units are connected, units connected after the second unit do not display in
the Hierarchical Display Area.
• If the memory card of the connected unit has not been initialized by the SVManager, the unit is not recognized and the Hierarchical Display Area cannot be
refreshed. Refer to "Initializing the Memory Card" on page 23 to initialize the card.
• When the Windows Explorer and automatic refresh screens display simultaneously,
close the screens as required.
Connecting/disconnecting the unit with the PC
Disconnecting the Unit from the PC
Follow the following procedures to safely remove the unit from the PC.
Do not forcefully remove the unit while reading or writing data. Data can be
destroyed. Always carry out the removal procedure explained here. Remove the
USB cable only after ensuring that the unit is released from SV-Manager
management and after confirming that the unit no longer appears in the
Hierarchical Display Area.
1 Click (Remove) the Hierarchical Display Area.
• The unit can be disconnected from [Tools] J [Remove] in the Menu.
¨The unit is removed from being managed by SV-Manager and disappears from the
Hierarchical Display Area.
• The unit can now be safely disconnected from the PC. This function is similar to the
"Safely Remove Hardware" feature in Windows.
• When three or more units are connected to the unit, the disconnected unit
disappears and the unit connected in the number three position displays in the
Hierarchical Display Area.
• If a general Windows file is saved on the memory card and the file is being used
by another application, the unit cannot be disconnected.
Connecting the Unit to the PC and Memory Card Management

Initializing the Memory Card
Memory cards need to be initialized by the SV-Manager or formatted by the
unit to allow the unit to browse and manage unit-specific files. Unit-specific files
cannot be registered to uninitialized memory cards.
If the password to the security folder is invalid, the unit may require reinitialization
when reaccessing the security folder or when browse becomes unavailable.
• Backup the unit-specific files on the memory card in the Library or intermediate file
format while reinitializing an initialized unit.
• The initialization process of the SV-Manager deletes all the unit-specific files from
the memory card and creates new and empty Top, Main, and Security folders in it.
This process differs from the format command in the unit or Windows as general
Windows folders and files in the card are not deleted.
• If Software that is not compatible with Windows or SD standards is used to format
the card, the card may become incompatible with

Managing multiple units in the memory card
When a card is initialized using the SV-Manager, the memory card inserted into the memory card
reader/writer can also be managed as a unit. Even if the unit is unavailable, unit-specific files can
be stored on the memory card.
The contents of unit-specific files can be stored on multiple memory cards to provide portability to
a large quantity of content. Multiple memory cards can be inserted one at a time into a unit to
browse their contents.
This unit can use memory cards with a maximum capacity of 2GB. microSDHC memory cards
are not compatible with this unit.

Confirming the Remaining Space of Memory Card Capacity
The used space of memory cards can be confirmed by two methods.
Confirming the Used Space of Memory Cards
