Help with the Panasonic SV-SD70

Panasonic SV-SD70-A software

This page was originally posted to ask for help, but I have since received help in getting the software up-and-running. The page has been left in place, to help others.

I have an Panasonic SV-SD70 MP3 player (SD card), that appears to be pretty much the same as the SV-SD75. The model I have is supplied with a Japanese version of SD-Jukebox software. I couldn't find the English version, so couldn't use the Mp3 player.

Upgrades are available on the Panasonic website for this unit, but rely on having the Panasonic Media Manager installed, or the RealJukebox for Panasonic plug-in... neither of which I have. Searches of newsgroups and websites indicate that I'm not alone in my search.

Here are a few of the links I've found partially useful...

Review of SV-SD70
SV-SD75 Software upgrades from Panasonic USA and Panasonic Europe
SDcard (Russian site)The upgrade files RJB_US_SD75Xp.exe (audio software), and usbrw.exe / bnsdcape.zip (Drivers for the SD USB R/W)

If you're looking for a copy of the software, your first point of contact should be technical.support@panasonic.co.uk, customer.care@panasonic.co.uk and consumerproducts@panasonic.com - They should be able to help to sell you a copy of the Panasonic Media Manager software. I received a response from Panasonic in the UK informing me that I could buy the software as a spare from Panasonic Customer Care on 08705 357 357, or my mail order from SEME LTD in Buckingham (Tel: 01280 823523).

For a few years, this site offered a Panasonic SD Audio comments page, which allowed users of the SD70 to help each other.

In April 2006, due to misuse by spammers and people posting cracked versions of serial numbers, posting had to be disabled. The old page is still available, but if you'd like to discuss anything to do with the SD70, or you are looking for help with this or any other audio player, please go to the FileSaveAs Mobile Audio forum
