Start by installing Philips Media Manager

This software enables the transfer of video, music and photo files in your computer to your Streamium LCD TV.

1Place 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.

2In 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.

3Adding files to the Media Manager.

Only the files that you see in the Media Manager will be accessible from the Streamium LCD TV.

A)Click one of the media categories: Music, Photos, or Movies.

In this example, click ‘Music’.

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 Streamium LCD TV.

4Opening and closing the Media Manager window.

You can close the Media Manager window, but its icon will remain active in the lower right corner of your computer monitor. This icon needs to remain visible, otherwise the TV Streamium LCD TV will not be able to access the media files on that computer.

Double-clicking the icon opens the Media Manager window.
