Philips SA5000 Quick Start Guide
The guide introduces the SA5000 package, showing the in‑ear headphones, line‑in cable, USB cable, CD‑ROM with software and the quick start guide itself. It explains how to connect the player to a computer with the supplied mini‑USB cable, how the battery charges automatically (full charge in 5 hours, 80 % in 3 hours), and how to install the Philips Firmware Manager from the included CD.
Navigation is performed with the central Navigator key: left/right moves through menus, up/down scrolls lists, and a press confirms a selection. The guide also lists supported video formats (.mov, M‑JPEG .avi, QVGA 320×240, up to 10 min) and audio PCM settings (mono, 16‑bit, 1.025 kHz). Support contact information and warranty notes are provided at the end.
