From a USB Connection
You can view your photos or play your music and videos from a connected USB flash drive or USB Hard Drive.
With the TV switched on, plug in a USB flash drive or a USB Hard Drive to one of the USB connections. The TV detects the device and will list your Media files. If the list of files does not appear automatically, press SOURCES and click USB.
You can search a file with the search field or browse your files in the folder structure you have organised on the drive.
The TV will also bundle your Media files according to their type
– Videos, Photos or Music. The colour key functions and the options in OPTIONS are therefore dedicated for each type.
To stop playing videos, photos and music, press HOME and select another activity.
Warning
If you try to pause or record a programme with a USB Hard Drive connected, the TV will ask you to format the USB Hard Drive. This formatting will delete all current files on the USB Hard Drive.

From a Computer or NAS
You can view your photos or play your music and videos from a computer or a NAS (Network Attached Storage) in your home network.
The TV and computer or NAS must be in the same home network. On your computer or NAS, you need to install Media Server Software like Twonky™. Your Media Server must be set to share your files with the TV. The TV shows your files and folders as they are organised by the Media Server or as they are structured on your computer or NAS. On the TV, the colour key functions and the options in OPTIONS are the same for all types of Media files.
If the Media Server supports searching for files, a search field is available.
To browse and play the files on your computer, press SOURCES, click SimplyShare.
