Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Transcend’s MP630 Digital Music Player. A new generation of Flash MP3
Player that combines all the advantages of a great sounding MP3 player with a USB Flash Drive and includes many extra features as standard such as, an FM Radio, Advanced Digital Voice Recorder, Direct
Line-In recording, Karaoke-type Lyrics display, A-B repeat functions and variable Track Playback speeds.
Your MP630 supports Hi-speed USB 2.0 for faster uploading and downloading of data, or music files to

continuously replay a designated section of a track at slower/faster speeds; this makes the MP630 an
ideal language-learning tool. In addition, you can record memos to yourself or from others using the advanced digital voice recorder and the unit’s Line-In recording feature lets you record music, or audio
books directly from a CD Player, or external microphone to your MP630. The stylish MP630 from
Transcend will change the way you think about your digital music forever.
