Initial Setup – Remote A protective tab is inserted into the battery compartment of the remote to maintain the charge of the battery. Before first using the remote you must pull gently on this tab to remove it completely.
Initial Setup - Adding Media Before you can enjoy your pictures, music, and movies on the go you must copy them onto the drive from a computer. Simply connect the included USB cable to the drive and an available USB port on your home laptop or PC. In most cases you will not need to use the power cable, but if your computer is having difficulty recognizing the drive then please connect it as well. No additional software is needed - your media drive should be recognized automatically.
This device can play back MPEG1/VCD, MPEG2, DivX/Xvid(AVI), DVD Folder, MP3 and WAV music files, JPEG photo and graphic files. You can store program and other data files on the drive as well. When you have finished adding your own content to the media drive, look for a tray icon such as this one called Safely Remove Hardware in the lower right and left click on it.
Setup – AV connections When connecting your drive to a television, projector, or receiver you may use either composite or component cabling. Composite cabling is the most common and supports only standard definition. You will need only the cable with the yellow, white, and red connections for a composite setup.
Component cabling is considered higher quality and allows your drive to output a high resolution signal. Keep in mind that even when your drive is displaying at high resolution the content is being scaled up from standard resolution and is not truly high definition. When using component cabling you will need the cable with green, blue, and red connections. You will also need the composite cable, but only for the audio (white and red) plugs.
After the audio and video cables are connected simply plug in the power adapter, and turn on the drive using the power button on the drive or remote control. After a few seconds the blue power light on the drive should stop blinking and you should see the media drive interface on your screen. If you do not, please press the video mode button on the drive (see reference above) until you see a clear picture.
Media Playback When first started, your media drive will display its contents in a list view called the browser interface. This base level of the drive will be labeled ROOT. You may return to this point at any time by pressing the Title button on the remote.
The basic controls for the browser interface are: • Select an item from the list by pressing the up or down arrows. • Pressing the next or previous buttons will scroll the list one page at a time. • Pressing the right arrow will open a folder and display its contents. • Pressing the left arrow will return to the previous (higher level) folder. • Pressing play on a file will display a picture, or play a music or video file. • Pressing stop will return you to the browser interface.
