Connecting to the computer
• Connect the player to your computer with the USB cable provided. The player will turn on automatically.
• The player will be connected in MSC (Mass Storage Class) mode. It will appear as a drive letter on your
computer and behave as a detachable drive for file transfer in one or both directions.
• The RCA easyRipTM Media Software installer is stored on the player. Go to My Computer in the Start
menu, fi nd and open the drive letter associated with the player (i.e. RCA MP3) and then double-click
the rcaeasyrip_setup.exe fi le to launch the installer.
• The software installer can be deleted from the player after installation to free up more storage space*.
• It may take several seconds for the player to be detected. Click View -> Refresh in My
Computer or Windows Explorer to make sure the player has been detected.
• The player is capable of transferring files at USB 2.0. If a USB 2.0 port is available on your
computer, use it to connect to your player. The player is still backward compatible with the
older USB 1.1 ports; however, you will not be able to take full advantage of the potential speed
increase.
• IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect the USB cable from either the PC or the player during the
software installation.
* The latest software can be downloaded from www.rcaaudiovideo.com.
The player must be in MSC mode to run the RCA easyRip installer from the player. Your player is
in MSC mode by default. You can change modes by selecting Protocol in the Settings menu.
