Protecting the hard
disk drive during
exercise (Music Charger)
You can use the player during jogging or
other physical activities. Music Charger
function can effectively be used to prevent
sound skipping as well as unexpected
damage to the internal hard disk drive during
such activities.
How the Music Charger works
In Music Charger mode, the player retrieves
about four tracks* from the hard disk, stores
them in the temporary memory space called
cache, and plays only those tracks in the
cache repeatedly without accessing the hard
disk any more.
* For MP3 files encoded with 128 kbps, each
having an average playing time of about four
minutes
To enter Music Charger mode

the Setup menu appears.
2 Rotate the jog dial to select “M.
CHARGER OFF,” and then push
the jog dial.
It takes a while for the player to store as
many tracks as possible in the cache.
Tracks are stored beginning with the
track currently being played.

“ ” and “ ” appear in the display,
and the player starts playing the tracks
stored in the cache repeatedly.
