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, vibrant pictures, and action-packed games. You’ll love your new MP3 player, whether you’re exercising, downloading your favorite tunes, watching videos, playing games, or even listening to FM Radio. Use it once, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

HIGH-QUALITY STEREO SPEAKERS!

The player comes with stereo speakers that slide out from the player.

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, and 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 pad to navigate through the menus.

WHERE FORM MEETS FUNCTION

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

LONGER PLAY TIME AND SHORTER DOWNLOADING!

A fully charged battery can play up to 24 hours of music or 4 hours of video(when using the earphones). 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.
