P3350 can cummunicate at USB1.1 (I2Mbps) or USB2.0 (480Mbps) speed with the computer. It is recommended to use USB2.0 which allows faster transfer rates. If your computer has a mix of USB1.1 and USB2.0 ports read the corresponding manual to be able to select the appropriate port.

1.1.3. Device detection

Windows 98SE

In Windows 98SE, install the device driver included in the CD-ROM.

You can also download the driver at www.energysistem.com.

4. Check that the hard disk drive inside the player is listed on the 'Device Manager' tab.

Windows Me/2000/XP/Vista, Mac OS X, Linux

This operating systems have built-in support for external USB hard disks so you don't need to install any driver.

To prevent file system corruption remember to follow the correct steps when disconnecting P3350 from the computer:

• Windows: Use the ‘Safely remove hardware’ procedure.
  Mac OS: Discard the corresponding Desktop icon into Trash Bin before disconnecting P3350 from USB port.

I.I.4. Partitioning and Formatting Hard Disk Drive

Newly purchased hard disks are not usually formatted or partitioned. Non-formatted hard disks cannot be detected by P3350; if so, follow the steps below to make it usable by P3350.

1. The HDD format tool is located in Setup > System > HDD Format
2. To avoid mistakes and the loss of valuable files you have to confirm the formatting directive.
3. This step allows to specify the space on the disk reserved for timeshift feature.
4. This is the last confirmation before the actual formatting takes place. Once started, wait about 2 minutes for completion.
5. After formatting completes you have 10 seconds to cancel the installation of BitTorrent / Samba features (it is not recommended).
