Using an SD memory card with your radio
An SD card can be used in your radio for recording, playing back
previously recorded radio programs, or playing back MP2/MP3/WMA

2- 4 hours of recording time. If you are using a new SD card ensure
that it is formatted correctly (see page 27)
Many different brands and capacities of SD card are available. Your
MP30 has been tested with the most popular cards up to 1 GB. How-
ever, there are many different card variants available and not all cards
can be guaranteed to work in the MP30.

To insert an SD card into your radio push the card label side forward
and gold contacts first into the SD card slot on the top right side of
your radio until it clicks.
To remove the card push the card in slightly and it will pop out allow-
ing removal.
Note: The SD card should not be removed during a recording as
damage or corruption of files on the card may occur.

optical toslink connector located on the left hand side of your radio.

disc to start recording as soon as a signal appears on the mini disc
input. When your radio switches on controlled by the alarm timer the
mini disc will start recording.

your hi-fi or mini disc user guide for further details. The volume on
your radio can be set to 0 so that you will not be disturbed during the

USB connection
Your radio has a USB connection to connect your PC. The usb can
be used to copy files to and from your SD card and also for any
software updates available.
When the USB connection is used to link your radio to your PC the
SD card should appear as a removable disk drive. Radio record-
ings are held in a folder called "RADIO" MP3 and WMA files may
be stored in other folders which you may create.
If your PC already has an SD card reader, you will find that file
transfer is faster when using this than when using the USB connec-
tion to your radio.
Your radio uses the FAT 16 format for storing files on the SD card.

General
Do not allow this radio to be exposed to water, steam or sand. Do not
leave your radio where excessive heat could cause damage. It is recom-
mended that the DAB band be used wherever possible as better results
in terms of quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained
than on the FM band.
