Chapter 1 - Preparing your PC
1.1 Start by installing Philips Media Manager
This software makes the audio files on your computer available for transfer from your computer
to your audio system. If you also wish to transfer photo and movie files to your television, check
www.philips.com/streamium for other Philips products that can.Your SL50i only allows transfer
of audio files.
1 Place the Philips Media Manager CD in your CD or DVD drive and install the Philips
Media Manager software.
The CD starts automatically. If it does not, double-click ‘My Computer’,
then the CD-ROM drive icon and finally ‘Setup.exe’ to start the CD.
2 In the menu that appears on your computer screen, click on ‘Install Philips Media
Manager’, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Start the program by clicking Start > Programs > Philips Media Manager.
When opening the Philips Media Manager for the first time, you will be asked if you want
to add a folder and scan for audio files. Open a drive or a folder with audio files in it. (For
example: the My Documents folder, if you have stored audio files there.)
– You can always add more files and folders later.

only the files that are supported by your SL50i will be available for your audio system.

then click 'Add Files or Folders...'.

selected folder or files to the Media Manager window.

as the SL300i and SL400i Wireless Multimedia Links.
