About RSS Channel

Using the PSP™ system's RSS Channel feature, you can add link information to your channel list that will enable your system to link to RSS-distributed content available on Web pages.

When connected to the Internet, the system will automatically update the list of content that has been added to these pages, and you can then play the new content on your system.

The PSP™ system's RSS Channel feature uses RSS (Really Simple Syndication) 2.0 technology.

◆ About RSS technology

RSS is a text format used in information fields such as headlines and summary paragraphs on Web sites to facilitate distribution of updated content. When new content in RSS format is added to a Web site, you can use software to automatically check for and then browse the updated content without visiting the Web site.

For example, if you add a Web site that contains RSS-distributed news to RSS-compatible software, when a new article is posted to the site, the headline for that news article will appear on your PC or other device.
