1. User available memory = 3,840,638,976 bytes, because a portion of the memory is used for data
management functions.
2. Calculated based on 4 minutes per song @ 128 kbps in MP3 format, not including videos or photos. Other
playable audio file format song numbers and times may differ from MP3 format. For video transfer the
approximate recordable times are estimated where only video is transferred to the device. Times may
vary depending on the conditions under which the player is used.
3. Not all MP3, WMA and AAC files may playback due to file variations. Copyright protectd AAC-LC files
cannot be played back.
4. Some photos cannot be played back, depending on their file formats.
5. Approximate recordable times are estimated where only video is transfered. The time may vary depending
on the conditions under which the player is used.
6. Not all products with USB 2.0 connectors may communicate with each other due to chipset variations.
7. When playing back MP3 files at 128kbps. The times are approximate when all of the Equalizers and the VPT
are set to "None", all of the DSEE, the Clear Stereo, Dynamic Normalizer and the New Song Pop Up are set
to "Off", and the Type of Screensaver is set to "Blank". Actual battery life may vary based usage patterns,
environment and battery condition.

Setting is set to "3". Actual battery life may vary based on usage patterns, environment and battery
condition.
