3. Setting Up: Transferring Files Via USB
This chapter explains how to transfer files to the LaCinema Mini HD
from your computer via the USB connection. If your files are located
on external sources, such as a USB hard drive or a networked de-
vice, you can learn about how to play these files in chapter 6. Play-
ing Files Located on USB Hard Drive.
Since the USB connection may offer faster transfer rates than the
Ethernet connection for some network configurations, LaCie sug-
gests as a first step to transfer the bulk of your multimedia files to the
LaCinema Mini HD through the USB connection.
The USB connection consists of the following steps:
3.1. STEP 1: Connect the USB cable
3.2. STEP 2: Connect the Power Supply (Optional)
3.3. STEP 3: Transferring Files
3.4. STEP 4: Unmounting Your Drive
When you have finished transferring files, disconnect the USB con-
nection and proceed to chapter 4. Setting Up: Connecting to TV.
IMPORTANT INFO: The drive cannot be connected to your com-
puter via USB and to the television simultaneously.
