Note
Content transferred via drag-and-drop may not be displayable on the Reader, or thumbnails
of the content may not be properly displayed on the Reader. Sony recommends that you

then disconnect the USB cable.
Do not format the Reader or your microSD card via your computer. If you have formatted
the Reader or microSD card on your computer, the Reader may not be able to display
transferred content. In this case, use the Reader’s [Format Memory] function to reformat the
Reader and your microSD card. See
