Setting Up Your Player

Thanks for buying a Compaq iPAQ Personal Audio Player
PA-2, and welcome to the world of digital audio.

What is Digital Audio?

Digital audio is a way of compressing recorded sound so
that it takes up much less storage space. A song is reduced
to about 1/10 its size, enabling fast downloads from the
Internet to your Player. There are many types of digital
audio formats, but MP3 and WMA are two of the most
popular.

Why Digital Audio?

Digital audio players provide many benefits:

> Solid state (no skipping)
> CD quality sound
> Portability (small and lightweight)
> Compatibility with the Internet
> The ability to take your favorite music with you

anywhere!

Is Your PC Ready for Digital Audio?

If you have a multimedia PC with a sound card and
speakers, you are probably ready for digital audio.
However, to get optimal performance, we recommend the
requirements shown here. You may be able to download
audio files with a less sophisticated PC, but you will be
happier if your PC meets or exceeds these requirements:

> 233 MHz processor
> Microsoft Windows 98, Windows ME,

or Windows 2000

> 100 MB free hard drive space
> 1 available USB port
> 24x CD-ROM drive (32x preferred)
> 64 MB RAM
