To watch rental videos
If you are connected with the Internet, you can rent a movie from an online video store. Open Smart TV and start a rental video App from the App gallery.
To download a rental video, you can connect a 8GB USB flash drive but alternatively, you can use a USB Hard Drive. When installing the USB Hard Drive, you can select if you also want to use the USB Hard Drive for rental videos. Even when the rental video store uses video streaming, you might need the USB Hard Drive to store some video buffer.

Installation
Before you can pause or record a broadcast, you must connect and format a USB Hard Drive. If you want to record a broadcast with TV guide data from the Internet, you need to have the Internet connection installed on your TV before you install the USB Hard Drive.
1 - Connect the USB Hard Drive to a USB connection on the back of the TV. You can use any USB connection on the TV but the connection next to HDMI 1 is the most practical one. Do not connect another USB device to the other USB ports when formatting.
2 - Switch on the USB Hard Drive and the TV.
3 - When the TV is tuned to a digital TV channel, press p (Pause). Trying to pause will start the formatting. Formatting removes all files from the connected USB Hard Drive.
Follow the instructions on screen.
When the USB Hard Drive is formatted, leave it connected permanently.
Warning
