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.

Media Manager software.

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
