a PC. Your player also comes equipped with an SB1394™ connector, so you can

transfer audio tracks and data quickly and easily. It also has two Line Out

connectors, which are ideal for connecting to external speakers, like a Creative

Inspire™ 4.1 speaker system.

real-time digital signal processor (DSP) and a real-time effects processor for

superior audio playback and customization. Your player also supports EAX™ so that

you can enhance your audio with Advanced EQ presets, headphone spatialization,

environments and effects. Your portable digital audio player supports multiple
