AOL and Compuserve use a
proprietary method of Internet
connectivity and are not
compatible with your iPAQ
Music Center.
Minimum requirements for the iPAQ Music Center setup include:

setup, the iPAQ Music Center will function without a TV, but
we recommend a TV connection to enhance the experience.

speakers or an amplifier. It must be connected to a stereo
receiver or amplified speakers.

standard dial-up, cable-based or DSL-based Internet Service
Providers. During guided setup (Chapter 4) make sure you
have the following information handy:
