The bottom left key on the search keyboard is labeled English. Select this key if your menu
language is something other than English but you want to enter English characters in your
search. If your menu language is already English, there's no effect if you click the English
key.

Browsing Folders

The media player indexes all the media files available on the external drives connected to
your media player and creates a database that you can search and display in a variety of
ways.
If you prefer to view your files and folders as they're stored on your drive, you can do that by
browsing:
• Select Browse on the Movies, Pictures, or Music menu and navigate through the files
and folders stored on all devices connected to the media player.
• Select Devices on the main menu and navigate through the Devices screen options to
view your media files and folders. See Chapter 5 "Managing Devices" on page 30 for
further information.

Playing Movies

The media player can play movies and personal videos stored on your computer or on a
digital camera or camcorder.
