Transfer Mode - Rio Carbon User Manual

Transfer Mode

Adjust Transfer Mode settings to change the way the Rio Carbon communicates with your computer.
Transfer Mode protocols include:
• Auto (the default setting)
Select to let the Rio Carbon decide what mode is most appropriate for your computer. If Windows Media Player
10 (WMP10) and Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) (or greater) are installed on your computer, the Rio Carbon
will default to MTP mode functionality. If your computer does not have WMP10 and SP1 (or greater) installed,
the Rio Carbon will default to MSC mode functionality.
• MTP
Select to set the Rio Carbon to only use the MTP protocol. MTP is an acronym for Media Transfer Protocol.
• When in MTP mode, the Rio Carbon cannot communicate properly with your computer unless it has
both WMP10 and Windows XP SP1 (or greater) installed.
• When in MTP mode, the Rio Carbon cannot display hidden files in folders, cannot allow transfers to
the root Rio Carbon directory, or allow the creation of new folders. Folders can be transferred to the
Rio Carbon using drag-and-drop and copy-and-paste methods. When in MTP mode (or Auto mode
on Windows XP systems with SP1 (or greater) and WMP10 installed), all audio files transferred to
the Rio Carbon are automatically placed in a pre-created Media folder and all non-audio files are
placed in a pre-created Data folder.
• MSC
Select to set the Rio Carbon to only use the MSC protocol. MSC is an acronym for Mass Storage Class.
• When in MSC mode, PlaysForSure™ Audio Subscription tracks cannot be transferred to the Rio
Carbon. PlaysForSure™ Audio Subscription tracks already on the Rio Carbon will play normally.
