Displaying Video Thumbnails on the Videos Screen

The multimedia drive will use artwork provided on your DVD or Blu-Ray disc in thumbnail

view on the Videos screen if the image is in the proper place. If no artwork is available, the

first frame of the on-screen preview is used instead.

To display video artwork in thumbnail view:

On your computer, find the artwork you want.

Drag the image into the folder that contains the matching DVD or Blu-Ray video. In the

video's folder, put the image in the same folder as the Audio_TS and Video_TS sub-folders.

Drag that video folder onto an external USB device and connect it to the multimedia drive,

then transfer the folder from the USB device to the multimedia drive. (See "Connecting

External USB Devices" on page 11 for more information.)

Navigate to the Videos screen (see "Playing a Video" on page 25).

The artwork appears in thumbnail view on the Videos screen.

If you have a digital camcorder (or camera), you may be able to view your personal videos by

connecting your camera to the multimedia drive.

To view a personal video:

Connect your camcorder to the multimedia drive using your camera's USB cable.

Power on your camcorder.

The camcorder appears as an icon on the Home screen, and you are prompted to start an

automatic or manual file transfer. See "Connecting External USB Devices" on page 11 for

more information. (If your camcorder doesn't appear in the list of devices, it's incompatible for

use with the multimedia drive.)

Once your files have been transferred, on the Home screen, select your camcorder, then

press OK.

Navigate to the video you want to watch, then press Play/Pause () or OK to start the

video. (If a file on your camcorder won't open, it's in an incompatible format.)
