picture files.

Accessing the Hard Disk
Press SETUP on your remote and go to ETHERNET - TCP/IP. Select FTP-Sever. You have three options: DISABLED (Not available),
READ ONLY (You can copy files from the DP-558 to your PC, but cannot copy files from your PC to the DP-558), READ/WRITE
(You can copy files from the DP-558 to your PC and from your PC to the DP-558). Pick the one that suits you best. Go to SHOW
CURRENT TCP/IP SETTINGS. Write down the IP ADDRESS shown on the screen below for future use. It is 4 sets of characters
separated by a point. (ex: 192.168.6.25). On your computer open your Internet Browser Program, in the address field write: ftp://
followed by the IP ADDRESS (ex: ftp://192.168.6.25). The Internet Browser window will display the content of your DP-558's Hard
Disk. If you already have copied some files on your Hard Disk, you will find three folders named: AUDIO, VIDEO and PICTURES.
They contain your Hard Disk's files, you can drag and drop them on your PC. The PVR folder contain your recordings. If you haven't
used your Hard Disk yet, the AUDIO, VIDEO and PICTURES folders haven't been created yet. You can create them yourself, but
make sure that you have previously selected READ/WRITE on your player, and for your player to see them these folders should be
named exactly audio, video and pictures (in low case letters). You also must copy your audio files into the AUDIO folder and so on.
The DP-558 will not be able to recognise them otherwise. Now that the FTP is set, you can manage all the files from the DP-558
easily and directly from your PC, you can rename your recordings, copy them to your PC's Hard Disk and burn them onto CD.
