Step 5 - Connecting a USB Device (Optional)
The media center has two USB ports that support playback from WD USB external
drives.*
* For a list of supported WD external drives, see article #5688 in or knowledge base at
http://support.wdc.com.
To connect the USB device:
1. Connect the USB device to either of the media center's USB ports.

2. Wait for a few moments while the media center scans the USB device for media
files. (Scanning is enabled by default. If you want to turn off automatic scanning,
go to "Media Library Compilation" on page 29.)
3. The Sync and Transfer screen appears. Pressing OK copies all the media files
from the USB device into the media center's internal drive. The files will all be
synced to a designated folder ("USB_Sync") in the media center's internal drive.
For each new USB device, a designated folder is created based on the USB
volume name. The media center only syncs and copies files that are new (by date
modified) or different than what's already stored rather than moving the entire
contents of the external USB device each time.
Note: You can turn off or adjust the Sync and Transfer function in the Setup > Operation menu. See
"Sync From USB Storage" on page 195.
