5.2. Transferring Files via USB

(Requires Windows Media
Player 11)

When you install Windows Media Player, drivers are also installed
that allow your LaCinema Black RECORD to be connected to your
computer via USB and mount similarly to an external hard drive.
You will see its icon in

My Computer

(XP users) or

Computer

(Vista

users). You can then transfer files from your computer to the
LaCinema Black and vice versa in the same way as you would
with a standard external hard drive.

1. Make sure that the software is installed on your computer.

TECHNICAL NOTE:

WMP is preinstalled on Vista, but XP users

may have to download and install the software.

2. Connect the LaCinema Black to your computer via the USB

cable.

IMPORTANT INFO:

Connecting your LaCinema Black RE-

CORD directly to a host computer via USB is not supported for
Mac OS X users.

3. In

My Computer

or

Computer

, open the volume entitled

LaCinema Black

(

).

4. Next, open the volume named

Local HDD

(

).

5. Drag files from your local hard drive into one of the three

folders according to the type of file (for instance, mp3 files go
in

My Music

, while jpg files go in

My Pictures

) (

Fig. 51

).

IMPORTANT INFO:

Make sure to correctly categorize the files

according to type, if you want the files to be available for playback
on your TV.

TECHNICAL NOTE:

The Recording folder is not accessible

while the LaCinema Black is connected to computer. This folder is
an optimized partition for recording and timeshifting. To copy re-
corded content, follow the procedure outlined in section
