Backing up HDD data to a PC
We recommend backing up the tracks on the HDD regularly using a PC or NAS (Network Attached Storage). In the event that this 
unit requires service and the music data is damaged or lost, you can restore music from the last time you backed up.
Preparation
1 Connect the unit to a PC network (➜page 20), or directly 
connect it to a PC (➜page 90).

folder to “Shared”. (This folder then becomes the 
save destination for the backup data.)
Folder name: 
ptxbckup
2Check the PC name.[Note]
About backup data
The backup data is created with encryption. Therefore, backup 
data cannot be played or copied to another device. 
Furthermore backups can only be restored on the unit from 
which it was created. 
[Tips]
If you do not have the equipment required for creating a 
backup
≥Make certain to keep the recording source (CD, files, etc.).
≥For information about the shared folder settings, see 
“Importing WMA/MP3 from a PC” (➜page 40).  The necessary equipment and recommended operating system for creating a backup:
≥A PC operating with Windows XP SP2 installed
≥A hard disk drive (HDD) with adequate available space, or a NAS device. Other media (DVD-R, etc.) cannot be used for 
creating a backup of your music library. 
≥When creating a backup, we recommend using a fast network connection such as 100BASE-T LAN.
≥For further information about backups visit the following homepage.
