rcd510 and sd card
« on: 28 September 2009, 13:36 »
so reading about sound quality on the other threads and about the ipod being the worst, i thought i would try some tunes on the sd card.  took one from my camera and put a few tunes on it.  however, it came up sd card error and wouldn't load up.  anyone tried an sd card yet?  any ideas chaps/chapesses what's the problem?!

Did you try re-formatting the card? Is it over 2Gb? I think the 510 only takes up to 2Gb.

it was a big one (can't remember how many gig) but it wasn't re-formatted.  does this need to be done then?

I would mate, your camera may have formatted it slightly differently for use in that. Or if windows formatted it, then maybe what you already have on the card is causing confusion when being read in the 510.

I'd format it clean and shuv some mp3's on, I bet it will work fine then.

Just clarify, I believe the 510 will take SD/MMC cards up to 2GB, and SDHC cards up to 32GB.

Is that true Alan, I stand corrected if thats the case, I thought it was 32gig for all formats.

Well if its a standard SD mate, it may not work if its higher than 2gig in size after what Alan has said.

Just to try anyway, yeah format it in your laptop, I assume your laptop has memory card reader slots in it ? If not, you have a usb memory card reader you can plug up to it ? I hope so, else your goosed.

To format, just right click on the drive letter windows assigns to it then format it. Just do a quick format.
