GoFlex Cinema™ Multimedia Drive User Guide 10

Powering On

5. Connect the multimedia drive to your TV, using either an HDMI or Composite cable (not

included). If your television has an open HDMI port, this is the best way to connect your

multimedia drive.

6. Reconnect the multimedia drive to a power source.

The multimedia drive powers on automatically, and the Drive LED illuminates.

You can now start enjoying your videos, music, and photos.

Copying Files Using a GoFlex

Desk External Drive Dock

If you have a GoFlex Desk external drive, you can also copy files to the GoFlex Cinema™

multimedia drive using the GoFlex Desk dock. (You would do this instead of connecting the

multimedia drive to your computer with the USB cable.)

You can also follow these steps to reorganize or delete files on the GoFlex Cinema

multimedia drive the same way you would any other disk drive connected to your computer.

Note: If the GoFlex Cinema multimedia drive is currently connected to your TV, disconnect it before

starting. See “Disconnecting the Multimedia Drive from Your TV” on page 36 to disconnect

safely.

1. Power off the multimedia drive, then disconnect the GoFlex Cinema drive from the GoFlex

Cinema dock, following the instructions on page 35.

2. Dock the GoFlex Cinema drive in your GoFlex Desk dock.

3. On your computer, drag and drop your media files to the GoFlex Cinema drive.

4. Safely disconnect the GoFlex Cinema drive from the GoFlex Desk dock, following the

instructions that came with your GoFlex Desk external drive.

5. Reconnect the GoFlex Cinema drive to the GoFlex Cinema dock by aligning the connectors

and carefully sliding them together until they’re fully seated.

6. Connect the multimedia drive to a power source, then press Power on the remote to start

enjoying your videos, music, and photos.

Powering On

When you power on the

GoFlex Cinema

multimedia drive, its Drive LED flashes amber, then

stops flashing and turns white when it is ready to use. (A solid amber Drive LED means that the

screen saver is on. To learn more, see “Understanding the Multimedia Drive’s LEDs” on

page 34.)

On your TV, the Home screen opens and the multimedia drive automatically begins indexing

the video, photo, and music files you transferred to it. This may take a few moments,

depending on how many files are on the device; an Indexing message appears while the

index is built.
