| Q |
Can I connect my Sony PSP UK system to my PC? |
| A |
The Sony PSP UK system can function as a USB Memory Stick
Duo reader. Using this functionality, you can copy pictures, audio, and
other content to and from your Memory Stick Duo. To access the Memory Stick
Duo in your Sony PSP UK system from your PC, you'll need a USB cable that has a
"Mini-B" connector (common for digital cameras) and a "Standard-A"
connector (common for printers, etc). Plug the Mini-B side into the top
of your Sony PSP UK system and the Standard-A side into your PC. From the Sony PSP UK system
software, navigate to the top of the settings list and select "USB
Connection." Your PC (Windows/Mac/Linux) should detect a new "Removable
Disk Drive" that you can then access.
