3. Watching Movies
You can use your media player to watch personal videos and digitized DVDs stored on:
•
A FreeAgent drive installed in the media player
•
An external USB drive connected to the media player's USB port
•
A digital camera or camcorder connected to the media player's USB port
•

Your media player automatically searches the drives and devices connected to your
media player and creates an index of all the video, picture, and music files it finds. The
movies are listed on the Movie screen (see "Playing a Movie" on page 15).
