gigabeat V series

+ THE SCREEN FEATURES SOME VERY BRIGHT IDEAS.

gigabeat features a new screen technology based on Organic Light Emitting Diodes. Unlike conventional LCD displays, OLED screens do not need a backlight as the individual pixels generate their own light. This reduces the amount of power they consume, and allows them to be thinner and lighter. In addition, colours are more vivid and OLED screens offer the high-speed refresh rate essential for video. Plus the 3.5” screen is large enough for a serious viewing experience, with the colour and detail you’d expect from a high-end entertainment system.

+ A BATTERY THAT CAN DO A FULL DAY’S WORK.

gigabeat V features a high capacity, rechargeable Li-ion battery. It can deliver up to 8* hours of continuous video on a single charge, or up to 30* hours of audio*. Better still, it takes only 3* hours to fully re-charge.

+ THE HARD DISK DRIVE THAT MAKES IT ALL POSSIBLE.

Toshiba is the world leader in developing ever smaller and more advanced hard disk drives. gigabeat features Toshiba’s world-renowned 1.8” hard disk drive. This highly reliable, shock resistant device has a 30GB capacity – enough to store hundreds of hours’ worth of entertainment and thousands of images, and still have room for more.

ON THE OTHER HAND. GIGABEAT S.

Looking for a smaller portable media centre? gigabeat S will slip neatly into a pocket – and yet you won’t feel like you’re leaving anything behind. It can function as a video player, jukebox, photo album, FM radio, storage device and more. It’s another great all-rounder.

+ PLAYSFORSURE™ MAKES IT EASY TO FIND FILES THAT ARE SURE TO PLAY.

If you’re shopping for music or video and you want to make sure it will play without problems, look for the PlaysForSure™ logo. When you visit leading online stores and see the logo you’ll know what you buy will play perfectly on your gigabeat. Many of the best digital music and video stores offer PlaysForSure™, including BigPond Music, Channel Go, RipIT.com, Sanity and many more. Visit http://www.microsoft.com/ windows/windowsmedia/playsforsure/default.aspx for more information.

+ ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT – THE HIGH NOTES.

Gigabeat includes software that helps to compensate for the loss of high frequencies when ﬁles are compressed into WMA or MP3 format. This means that music played on your gigabeat retains more of the qualities of the original recording. Sound good?

+ NATIVE WINDOWS MEDIA VIEWER SUPPORT.

WMV is a high quality Microsoft video format. Many video download/streaming sites now support this format as a default standard. This gives gigabeat owners access to large volumes of content.

+ WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER ROOM SOFTWARE – YOU’LL NEVER NEED TO LEAVE THE ROOM.

Install Windows Media Player from the bundled CR-ROM and you’ll have a single fast, powerful program that will help you store and manage all your music, video, photos and recorded TV - all from one place.

+ WATCH RECORDED TV ON YOUR GIGABEAT.

If you have Windows Media Centre Edition on your Notebook or PC you can record any number of programs and then transfer the ﬁles to your gigabeat and watch them later*.

YOU WOULDN’T SWAP IT FOR ANYTHING.

+ GIGABEAT’S SOFT AND FRIENDLY SIDE.

It’s the software that helps make the gigabeat V so versatile, powerful and easy to use. gigabeat is completely compatible with Windows-based software like Microsoft’s Windows XP Media Center Edition. This means you can take advantage of the power of these applications to create ﬁles that will then play seamlessly on your gigabeat. In addition, other clever software improves sound quality, simpliﬁes the management of all your digital material and makes it easy to buy or rent compatible music or video.

+ GIGABEAT FEATURES MICROSOFT’S PORTABLE MEDIA CENTRE EDITION (PMC).

gigabeat’s array of entertainment options can all be accessed and controlled with Microsoft’s friendly Portable Media Center software. This makes it easy to use and navigate, and helps utilise the power of the hard drive to scroll quickly through large media libraries and ﬁnd what you’re looking for.

gigabeat will also synchronise particularly well with PCs running Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition, software which accounts for more than 30 percent of PC sales today. You can even set up automated synch rules to transfer just your favourite songs, most played songs, least played songs, new songs or many other options.
