(Windows Media Player 9 or later version and MP3, WMA codecs are required)
• Supports transformation speed up to a maximum of 40 times of the normal
playback speed (High Speed mode). (The maximum speed is just for your

you choose to add.
Before you use PMP Lite software, make sure the following items have been
completed:
1. Xonar U1 Audio Station has been installed in your PC
2. The Xonar U1 driver has been installed (Xonar U1 audio converter driver is
installed for PMP Lite utility)
3. You will also need an MP3 encoder installed to encode music into MP3
format (If you don’t have this already, the Xonar U1 installer will provide a
guide message to download a free MP3 encoder)
After PMP Lite is installed, you will find a PMP Lite shortcut icon on the desktop.
Double click the icon and PMP Lite will show up as below.
