features of your new MP3 Player

Good looking. Smart. Reliable. And lots of fun. Your new MP3 player is
all this and more. Its state-of-the-art technology delivers rich sound, and
vibrant pictures. You’ll love your new MP3 player, whether you’re exercising,
downloading your favorite tunes, watching videos, or even listening to FM
Radio.
Use it once, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

PUTTING THE “MULTI” IN MULTIMEDIA

We call it an MP3 player, but it’s much more
than that. It allows you to view pictures, text,
videos and listen to FM radio.
The built-in Bluetooth wireless technology
turns your MP3 player into your own
personal network.

TOUCH NAVIGATION!

You can tap on the touch screen to navigate
through the menus.

COLOR LCD SCREEN DESIGN

Vivid color and images are delivered on the
wide LCD screen.

WHERE FORM MEETS FUNCTION

Sure, it’s sleek and good-looking. But it’s
easy to hold and use, too.

EASY SEARCH!

You can search for fi les with the easy-to-
use File Brower, and also navigate through
menus while listening to music.

LONGER PLAY TIME AND SHORTER
DOWNLOADING!

A fully charged battery can play up to 35
hours of music and 5 hours of video.

Download times are shorter. Because of its
USB 2.0 capability, the player is much faster
than models with USB 1.1.

ACOUSTIC WONDER

Your new MP3 player has built-in DNSe™
(Digital Natural Sound engine), Samsung’s
unique sound technology created to deliver
richer, deeper sound for an unbelievable
listening experience.
