Choosing a compatible external hard drive:

•The hard drive must have a USB 2.0 connection.

•The capacity of the hard drive should be between 40GB and 750GB.

•Using a hard drive with an external power supply is recommended. External hard drives powered by the USB cable may not function properly with your receiver.

•Do-it-yourself kits and expandable racks may not be compatible.

•Only hard drives that are single-disk units are supported.

•Dedicate the hard drive for use only with the receiver; do not use the drive for other purposes, such as storing computer files.

1Purchase a USB 2.0 hard-disk drive from a local consumer electronics store.

2Connect the drive to one of the receiver’s two USB ports, making sure to follow any instructions that came with the hard drive.

Note: Currently, the receiver supports having one USB device connected at a time. If you have a second USB device such as a camera or portable media player connected to the receiver, disconnect it before connecting the external hard drive.

3If the hard drive is compatible, you’ll receive a popup confirming the connection and asking if you want to manage its contents. Select Yes.

5Once the feature has been activated, you’ll receive a popup asking if you want to format the drive—formatting is necessary to store your recorded programs on the external hard drive. After selecting Yes, anything on the external hard drive is erased, the drive is formatted, and then the receiver reboots.
