Copying Files onto the GoFlex Cinema™ Multimedia

Drive

Follow the instructions in this section to copy media files from your computer to the

multimedia drive. 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. Connect the GoFlex Cinema multimedia drive to your computer using the included USB

cable, then connect it to a power source using the power adapter with the correct plug.

Note: You can also copy files to the multimedia drive using a Seagate GoFlex

Desk dock. See

“Copying Files Using a GoFlex® Desk External Drive Dock” on page 10.

The Connection LED illuminates.

Caution: To avoid overheating the multimedia drive, do not place anything on top of it (such as

a cable box or USB device). Always place the multimedia drive on a flat surface, never

on top of any other electronic device.

2. On your computer, drag and drop your media files to the multimedia drive.

3. On your computer, safely eject the multimedia drive from your computer, following the

instructions for your operating system.

4. Disconnect the multimedia drive from your computer and the power source.
