Chapter 3: Using the Recorder’s Features
Copying music or pictures to the Digital Media Recorder
If you have certain songs (MP3 files) or pictures (JPEG files) that you want to save to your hard disk drive, there are two ways to do it:
•Transfer the MP3 or JPEG files from a disc.
•Use a Class Compatible Mass Storage device to transfer the MP3 or JPEG files from the compact flash card via the USB input. Go to page 59 for more information.
Note: Only true MP3 files can be played and/or copied. Some MP3 players use software that converts MP3 files to other formats, such as MPX. Similarly, only JPEG files can be played and/or copied.
Copying from a disc to the Recorder’s hard disk drive
1. Place the disc in the Digital Media Recorder’s disc tray.
Note: Make sure the disc contains the JPEG and MP3 files you want to save to the hard disk drive because you can’t select individual files or folders — all JPEG files and MP3 files that are on the disc will be copied to the hard disk drive.
2.If the main menu isn’t on the screen, press MENU on the remote control.
3.From the main menu, use the down arrow button on the remote to highlight Disc, and press OK (the Disc options appear).
4.Highlight Music or Pictures, depending on which one you’re copying.
5.Highlight Copy, and press OK.
Note: While the files are being copied, you can’t use the Digital Media Recorder.
The amount of time it takes for the files to copy varies.
Copying music or pictures from a compact flash card
You must use a Class Compatible Mass Storage Device (for purchasing information, go to page 59) in order to copy files via the USB input.
Note: The USB input is not compatible with computer networking devices and is only designed to be used with compatible card readers.
1.Connect the card reader to the Digital Media Recorder’s USB INPUT (it is underneath the door on the front left side of the Recorder).
2.Place the compact flash card in the reader.
Note: Make sure the compact flash card contains the JPEG and MP3 files you want to save to the hard disk drive because you can’t select individual files or folders — all JPEG files and MP3 files that are on the card will be copied to the hard disk drive.
3.Turn on the TV and the Digital Media Recorder.
4.From the main menu, highlight Memory Card and press OK (the Memory Card options appear).
5.Highlight Copy and press OK.
Note: While the files are being copied, you can’t use the Digital Media Recorder.
The amount of time it takes for the files to copy varies.
Renaming picture and/or music files
1.After you copy MP3 files, they’re stored in the Music menu. JPEG files are stored in the Pictures menu. To rename or delete a file, highlight it from the appropriate menu, and then press the right arrow button to highlight the Standard Play box on the right of the screen.
