This software makes the music, photo, and movie files on your computer available for transfer from your computer to your television.

1 Place the Philips Media Manager CD in your CD or DVD’s drive and install the Philips Media Manager software.

The CD starts automatically. If it does not, double-click ‘My Computer’, then the CD-ROM drive icon and finally ‘Setup.exe’ to start the CD.

2 In the menu that appears on your computer screen, click on ‘Install Philips Media Manager’, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Start the program by clicking Start > Programs > Philips Media Manager.

When opening the Philips Media Manager for the first time, you will be asked if you want to add a folder and scan for media files. Open a drive or a folder with music, photos, or movies in it. (For example: the My Documents folder, if you have stored media files there.)

– You can always add more files and folders at a later time.

3 Adding files to the Media Manager.

B) First, click the 'Add Music' button below the media categories, then click 'Add Files or Folders...'.

C) Select a folder or one or more media files and click the 'Open' button to add the selected folder or files to the Media Manager window.

> From now on, the media files you added may be accessed from the SL300i.

4 Opening and closing the Media Manager window.
