Insert the external memory into the EXT slot as far as it will go.

Check that the EXT indicator lights up in the front panel display when turning the player on.

Rear of the player

Sony USM2GL (not supplied)

• Insert the external memory straight. If you force the external memory into the slot, this will cause damage to both the external memory and the player.

• Keep the external memory away from small children to prevent them from accidentally swallowing the external memory.

• Do not apply too much pressure to the external memory in the slot, as it may cause a malfunction.

• We recommend use of the Sony USM2GL available as of April 2009.

• Other USB flash devices may support this function. However we cannot guarantee compatibility with all USB flash memories.

• When inserting a USB flash memory, check the insertion direction before inserting it.

• Depending on the USB flash memory, it may stick out from the EXT slot. Do not force into the slot or apply pressure to the protruding portion of the USB flash memory.

• Do not connect anything other than a USB flash memory to the EXT slot.

• To avoid data corruption or damage to the external memory, turn the player off when inserting or removing the external memory.

• When the EXT indicator does not light up, turn the player off, remove and re-insert the external memory, then turn the player on again.

• Do not insert the external memory that contains photo or music files to avoid corrupting the external memory data.

• When re-formatting the USB flash memory, use FAT16 or FAT32 format.
