your PC.

• Convert MP3, WAV, and WMA files on your PC's hard disk drive and write

them onto an SD Memory Card.

Transferring data between a PC and SD Memory Card

Check out refers to the process of writing tracks recorded on a PC (compressed music data) to an SD Memory Card. Check in refers to the process of moving tracks back to the PC from an SD Memory Card. Check out and check in cannot be done an unlimited number of times.Limits such as the following apply in order to protect copyrights.

• A track recorded to a PC can be checked out to an SD Memory Card a

maximum of three times. Therefore, on the <Check out to SD>, only the tracks that have at least one remaining check out are displayed from the list of all recorded tracks (the PC's default playlist). Tracks that have been checked out three times are not displayed.

• When you delete a track from the SD Memory Card's default playlist, the track is checked in to the PC.

When you check in a track, you increase the check out count for that track on the PC. You cannot check in music data that has been deleted from the PC's default playlist.
