The silver screen,

• Choose from hundreds of movies and TV shows to watch, spanning diverse genres
and viewing choices
• Take your entertainment with you on the go by placing your downloaded videos
on Memory Stick Duo™
Here’s How it Works.
1) Use the PSP Media Manager to easily place videos on your PSP
system’s Memory Stick Duo.
2) PSP Media Manager will search your PC for videos, and then convert
the files to the correct MP4-readable format for the PSP.
3) Alternatively, watch full-length movies and TV shows off a UMD®.

Music
Let the music move
you — anywhere.
• Place your MP3 collection on Memory Stick Duo and take your music with
you everywhere
• Plays MP3, WAV, WMA, ATRAC3+, and MP4 formats
Here’s How it Works.
You can add MP3’s (or other music format files) to your Memory Stick Duo for play on
your PSP system.
1) Simply attach your PSP to your PC through a USB cable — making the PSP an
external drive.
2) You’ll then be able to copy your MP3s onto your Memory Stick Duo (make sure
that your Memory Stick Duo is formatted for use on your PSP and that you place
your music files in the folder labeled Music).
3) Then just plug your headphones in, go to Music on the PSP system’s
XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) menu and select your song.

Photos
Take your photos and slide shows to go.
• Place your photos on your Memory Stick Duo and view them on the LCD screen
• Beam photos to friends via Wi-Fi
• Set up a slideshow to show friends and family your photo collection
Here’s How it Works.
It’s easy to place photos on your PSP system!
1) Attach your PSP to your PC through a USB cable — which will make the PSP
an external drive.
2) You’ll then be able to copy your photos (JPG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, or BMP formats) to
your Memory Stick Duo (make sure your Memory Stick Duo is formatted for use
on your PSP and that you place your photos in the folder labeled Photo).
3) You can then go to the Photo icon on the PSP system’s XMB and select the photo
that you’d like to view.
5
Internet
Got a hot spot?
Get some cool stuff.
• Access the Internet from any accessible hotspot
• To purchase downloadable games for your PSP system, go to store.playstation.com
Here’s How it Works.
To access the Internet on your PSP system, first make sure that you are at an accessible
hotspot and that your Wi-Fi switch is set to ON.
1) If you are at a new location, you’ll want to select the WWW icon on your PSP
system’s XMB screen, and then follow instructions to set up a New Connection.
2) Once you have tested this connection, select the WWW icon from your PSP
system’s XMB screen again.
3) Press C and then S to access the URL bar, or scroll over to the Bookmarks
icon (noted by the ‘heart’ icon) and select a site.
4) If accessing through the URL bar, after pressing S, the on screen keyboard will
pop up. Enter the desired website URL and your PSP will connect you to that site.
Once the web page is shown, press D to hide the toolbar.

LocationFree TV
LocationFree TV:
• Watch live TV, DVR content or your DVD player content on your PSP system from
anywhere in the world via an accessible hotspot
• Connect your compatible TV, DVD player, DVR, Camcorder, or PC to the
LocationFree Base Station. Then enjoy your favorite TV shows, movies, created
video, and more where and when you want on your PSP — wherever wireless
connectivity allows
Here’s How it Works.
To connect to your LocationFree TV base station through your PSP, make sure you
have installed firmware update 2.80 or later and that your Wi-Fi switch is set to On.
1) Go to the LocationFree icon underneath the Network icon on your PSP system’s
XMB menu. (If you have not set-up a connection yet, your PSP will take you
through the process.)
2) Register your PSP with the LocationFree TV base station by pressing the ‘Setup
Mode’ button on the base station.
3) Select the LocationFree TV icon under the Network icon on the XMB menu and
press S.
4) Select a public wireless LAN service (if outside the home) or ‘LocationFree AP’ (if
inside the home). Now you can enjoy your favorite TV shows, DVR or DVD content
from the road! For further set-up information, go to www.sony.com/locationfree.
*LocationFree TV is sold separatly.

TiVoToGo
• Watch recorded TV content downloaded to your Memory Stick Duo
• TiVo-To-Go™ service costs $24.95 (one time flat fee) and converts recorded
TiVo content to the correct PSP system format
• Check www.tivo.com/tivotogo for more information
Here’s How it Works.
1) To access your TiVo content for playback on your PSP, your TiVo Series2™ must
be connected to your home network (connecting it to your PC).
2) Next, go to www.tivo.com/tivotogo to download the TiVo Desktop Plus software.
This will allow your PC to convert the TiVo files to a PSP readable format. TiVo
charges a one-time fee of $24.95 for this service, payable via their website.
3) When TiVo Desktop Plus has been downloaded, click the box in the ‘Preferences’
menu to ensure files are converted to PSP format.
4) Transfer the shows you wish onto your PC. The PC will then automatically convert
the files into PSP readable files and place in a separate portable downloads folder.
5) You’ll then need to connect your PSP to your PC via the USB cable — which will
turn the PSP into an external drive. Make sure your Memory Stick Duo has been formatted for use on the PSP and that you have updated your PSP system’s firmware
to version 2.80 or later. From there, you’ll be able to enjoy your TiVo content on
your PSP!
*Mac users can convert their TiVo Series2
programs for PSP as well using Roxio Toast 8 —
see www.tivo.com/mactivotogo for details.
