2. Getting Started
Connecting a FreeAgent Drive or External USB Drive
If you haven't done so already, insert a FreeAgent drive containing your movie, picture, and
music files into your media player, as shown in the printed Quick Start Guide.
Alternatively, you can connect an external USB drive (such as a flash drive or thumb drive)
containing your media files to the USB connector on the media player.
TIP:
You can use the included Seagate Media software to organize the media files on your
computer and transfer them to a FreeAgent or external USB drive. See Chapter 7
"Syncing Your Media Files" on page 34 to get started.
You can also connect a digital camera or camcorder to the USB connector on the media
player. (For help viewing photos and videos from your digital camera or camcorder, see
"Playing a Personal Video from a Digital Camcorder" on page 21 or "Viewing Pictures from a
Digital Camera" on page 27.)
When you connect a new device to your media player, the Home screen opens and the
device appears as an icon on the Home screen. Your media player automatically searches
the device and creates an index of all the video, picture, and music files it finds. This may
take a few moments, depending on how many files you have on the device; an 'Indexing'
message appears at the bottom of the screen while the media player builds the index.
You can start browsing and enjoying your media files right away, even if the index isn't
complete yet. See the chapters on watching movies (page 18), viewing pictures (page 23),
and listening to music (page 28) for help getting started.
Navigating the Media Player Screens and Menus
The user interface (UI) of your media player is easy to navigate using the included remote
control. This section describes the main screens, how to use the remote, and how to find the
screens you're looking for.
Note:
In this User Guide, all instructions refer to the remote. For instance, "Press Menu, select
Pictures, then press OK" means to press the Menu button on the remote, use the arrow
buttons to select Pictures on the on-screen menu, then press the OK button on the remote.
