Video converter
Before transferring any video files to your player, they must be converted to a compatible format
for optimal playback. To do so, you need to install the RCA Video Converter in your computer. The
video converter only works on Windows XP or higher.
1. Load the music management CD included with this
player in your computer. Installation will start
automactically. Follow the on screen instructions to
properly install the RCA Video Converter.
2. After installation is complete, launch the RCA video
converter and connect the player to the computer.
3. Drag-and-drop the selected video files from Windows
Explorer onto the Video Converter’s list control.
Drag-and-drop here

•
If the video file is already compatible with the player,
“Ready to be downloaded” shows under “Status”.
4. Select the target folder you wish to save the converted
video file too by clicking "Browse" under the list
control.
•
If you want to transfer the video output file to the
player automatically after the conversion is complete,
check the box underneath to allow transfer to player
when conversion is complete.
5. Select the type of player from the pull-down menu
under “Player”. For this player, select “M51 series” in
the pull-down menu. Once the type of player is
selected, optimum settings for file conversion will be
made automatically.
6. To edit the name of the output video, click on the box
that is just to the right of the Destination box at the
lower right corner of the Video Converter application.
28
Listening, Viewing and Recording
7. If you prefer to convert only a portion of the video file,
select the start and end time for conversion by increasing
or decreasing the box to the right of Start and End at the
lower right corner of the Video Converter application.
8. To rotate the output file by 90O after conversion, select
“Yes” from the pull-down menu to the right of "Rotate"
at the lower right corner of the Video Converter
application.
9. Once all selections and changes above have been made,
click “Convert” to start the file conversion.
•
If all the video files are ready to be downloaded without
conversion, the “Convert” button will change to
“Download”. Click “Download” to start the file transfer.
Tip: For operation details of the video converter, please open the help file by pressing
the ‘F1’ key on your computer.
Note: If Windows Media Player 10 is installed, picture
files should be copied to the“Media” folder for
viewing. Video files cannot be dragged and dropped to
the “Media” folder. They must be converted and
transferred to the player via RCA Video Converter for
playback. Alternatively, converted video files can also
be transferred via Windows Media Player in the same
way as you transfer music files to the player. Please
refer to the instructions of Windows Media Player for
operation details.
This video converter software relies on the video codecs already installed in your
computer. Make sure the video file you wish to convert plays on your computer before using
the video converter software. Note that some video files that play on your computer may rely
on specialized video playback applications that are not compatible with the video converter
software.
The video converter can only convert files that play on your PC. If a file cannot play on your
PC, then it will be necessary for you to download the appropriate PC media player for that file
format from the Internet. Enter the file type or file format into a common Internet search
engine to find links where the PC media player can be downloaded and installed to your PC.
