In Windows XP and when Windows Media Player
10 is installed, the player is connected to the
computer in MTP mode. In the Windows Explorer,
when the player is opened, the “Data” and
“Media” views will be displayed for the player.

The Data folder is used to manage data content
on the player, such as text files. The Media folder
is used to manage media content supported by
the player for playback, such as mp3 and wma.

You can copy files to the player through Windows
Explorer (drag-and-drop). Picture files should be
copied to the “Media” folder for viewing while
video files can not be dragged and copied to the
“Media” folder directly as only .SMV files are
supported. The video files must be converted and
transferred via RCA Video Converter for playback
(refer to page 19). Alternatively, you can transfer
the converted video files to the "Data" folder via
the Windows Explorer (drag-and-drop).

If Windows Media Player 10 or above is not
installed in Windows XP, or your computer is
running Windows 2000, the player is connected
