management software.  
What is MTP mode?  
MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode is essential  
if you want to transfer DRM10 content to your  
player. In MTP mode your player will no longer  
show up as a drive letter. So programs that were  
designed to work with a player that shows up as  
a drive letter will not be able to work directly  
with the player.  
Cannot launch RCA EasyRip installer stored in  
the player to install EasyRip on my PC.  
To enable function of launching RCA EasyRip  
installer stored in the player, select MSC mode
