Before you begin

Connecting to the computer

• Connect the player to your computer with the
USB cable provided. The player will turn on
automatically.
• The player will be connected in MSC (Mass
Storage Class) mode. It will appear as a drive
letter on your computer and behave as a
detachable drive for file transfer in one or both
directions.
• The RCA easyRip™ Media Software installer
(stored in the player*) will launch automatically.
Click NEXT to begin the installation and follow
the instructions to install the software on your
PC.
• The software installer can be deleted from the
player after installation to free up more storage
spaces.
Player
To enable function of launching RCA
easyRip installer stored in the player, the
player must be in MSC mode which can
be selected under Protocol in the
Settings menu. The default setting of this player
is already in MSC mode. Refer to page 24 for
more information.

• It might take several seconds for the
player to be detected. Click Refresh
in My Computer or Windows Explorer
to make sure the player has been
detected.
• The player is capable of transferring files at
USB 2.0. If USB 2.0 port is available on your
computer, use it to connect to your player.
The player is still backward compatible with

not be able to take full advantage of the
potential speed increase.

and right-click the associated drive letter (i.e.
OPAL) to show the option menu and select
the "Install RCA easyRip™" option.

player, make sure your computer is on and the
device is connected for at least 3 hours. Refer to the
