The Sony Walkman MZ-NH600D is a light, portable MiniDisc (or MD) player that uses removable, re-recordable MiniDiscs and audio compression technology to give music lovers a great way to enjoy their music library for hours at a time. Transfer and record music files from your PC and listen to them wherever you go.
Instructions
Transferring Files to the Music Library
1. Turn on your computer, make sure your Internet connection is running and open the SonicStage program. If storing music from a CD, insert it into the computer's DVD or CD-ROM drive. The audio tracks will be shown on SonicStage's main window.
2. Manually enter the CD information--title, artist, album and genre--if it doesn't automatically pop up. Click to select the format (OpenMG ATRAC3plus recommended) used to save the music files if this is not your default setting.
3. Click "Record," and the music files will be saved to your library. The program will tell you when the process is complete.
4. If you have music files saved in other programs within your computer (Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc.), you can transfer these to your SonicStage library to be uploaded to your MiniDisc player. Click the "Music Source" button at the top, then the down arrow next to "Connect Music Store," then click "Import Music Files."
5. A new window will pop up. You can specify an album for the files to be transferred to: either the default "imported files" or to an existing album, or create and name a new one. At the top, find and select the source of the files you want to transfer to your library. To select multiple files, hold the "CTRL" or "Shift" key while selecting. Next, click the "Import" button.
Transferring Files to the Sony MD Walkman
6. Connect the USB cable from the MD player to your PC; the output is on the right side of the device. Make sure the player has a MiniDisc loaded.
7. Click the "Transfer" button, then the down arrow to select your MD player. Select the files you want from the "My Library" window and click "Transfer." To select multiple files, hold the "CTRL" or "Shift" key while selecting.
8. Click the transfer mode you want to use, click "OK" and then click the "Transfer to Device" arrow button. The program will tell you when the transfer is complete.
Playing Music
9. Insert a recorded disc with the label facing front. Press the round "ENT" button in the center of the control knob to play, and press up or down to adjust the volume.
10. Use the left and right arrow keys to select the song you want to hear. Play in normal mode, or use the menu to browse by group, artist, album or bookmarked tracks. To pause or stop play, press the appropriate button under the dial.
11. To change the info displayed, press the "NAVI MENU" button until "DISPLAY" mode is shown and use the arrow keys to make your selection.
12. To change the mode of play (shuffle, repeat, etc.), press the "NAVI MENU" button until "SubPmode" is shown and make your selection. To customize audio settings, select the "Sound" mode.
13. To make sure play isn't interrupted by buttons being inadvertently pressed, slide the "HOLD" switch on the bottom right side of your MD player. To use the controls again, slide it back.
