Notes
• The Artist Link search feature and the criteria used to find other artists may change as a
result of updates to the player’s firmware.
• Because the Artist Link feature bases its searches on track information, tracks with no
track information attached are not found by the Artist Link feature. If none of the tracks
stored on the player have track information, the Artist Link feature cannot work.
The track information can be retrieved automatically from the Internet.
• While “Artist Link” is displayed, the controls of the player cannot be operated.
• The Artist Link feature consumes more battery power than most other player operations,
such as playing tracks.
