Transferring video content to your device
Before you start using the Movies application, it’s a good idea to transfer movies, TV
shows and other video content to your device from other devices, such as a
computer. There are several ways to transfer your content:
•Connect your device to a computer using a USB cable and drag and drop the video
files directly using the file manager application on the computer. See Connecting your
device to a computer on page 97.
•If you have a PC, use the Media Go™ application from Sony™ to organise content
and transfer video files to your device via the PC.
•If your computer is an Apple® Mac®, you can use Sony™ Bridge for Mac to transfer
video files from iTunes to your device.
