note You cannot transfer music from your portable device to the digital entertainment center.
downloading to a portable device
To download music from your digital entertainment center to a portable device, you first need
to connect the device and compile the list of tracks you want to transfer. Then you can refine
the list before starting the transfer.
1 Connect the USB cable provided with your portable device to the device itself and to
the digital entertainment center. (The digital entertainment center has one USB port on
the front and two USB ports on the back.)
2 If your portable device has a power switch, make sure it’s powered on. (If the device is
not on or has insufficient battery power, the digital entertainment center may not find
or recognize it.) If the device requires media (such as a memory card), ensure that the
media is in place.
3 From the library menu, select Music or Playlists.
4 Navigate down to the appropriate level and highlight the first item you want to add to
your portable.
tip
Once you’ve chosen music
files to write to your portable
device, the list is accessible
until you make the transfer (to
access the list, select
Portables
from the library menu).
When the transfer is complete,
your list of songs is deleted.
To create a list that remains
available (such as to write to
CD or just to listen to), build
a playlist first, then add the
playlist to your portable.
See page 40 for instructions
on creating a playlist.
