7.4.4 Checking the Samba server and assign a DLNA DMR name
In order to be able to access the hard disk of the media player using the local network,
it is necessary the ‘Samba server’ is enabled. The Samba server is enabled by
default. If the Samba server is enabled, you will be able to access the hard disk of the
media player using the local network.
Also, you can assign a DLNA DMR network name to the media player. This name can
be selected while using the DLNA DMR option and/or while using iMediaShare.
1. Use the navigation buttons to go to ‘Setup’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
2. Select ‘Network’.
3. Select ‘SAMBA Server’. The ‘SAMBA Server’ needs to be set to ‘On’. If not, press
the ‘OK’ button and select ‘On’ and press the ‘OK’ button again.
4. Use the navigation buttons to go to ‘System’.
5. Select ‘Device Name’ and press the ‘OK’ button. This device name can be used
to stream using DLNA DMR and by using the iMediaShare software (Chapter
11.6 and 11.7)
6. You can now fill out a DLNA name for the media player. Press the ‘Zoom’ button
for the Upper Case Alphabet. Press the ‘Zoom’ button again to switch to the
Lower Case Alphabet. You can also use the red button on the remote control to
add symbols. When you are finished, select the ‘OK’ button on screen and press
the ‘OK’ button on the remote control.
Note: How to access the hard disk of the media player using the local network will be
explained in chapter 8.2.
8.0 Copying media to the hard disk of the
media player
Once the media player has been setup, you can start to copy your media files to the
internal hard disk of the EM7385.
8.1 Using the USB (3.0) slave connection
The media player has a fast next generation USB 3.0 slave connection. Using this
USB 3.0 slave connection, copying data will be done with incredible speed. The
highest possible transfer rate will be achieved if your computer also has a USB 3.0
connection and if you are using a USB 3.0 cable. If your computer does not have a
USB 3.0 connection, a USB 2.0 connection can still be used since USB 3.0 is also
compatible with USB 2.0.
Note: The EM7385 has two USB 3.0 connections. If you want to connect the media
player to your computer, you need to use the USB 3.0 slave connection on the back of
the EM7385. Also see the following image:

18 |ENGLISH
Image 4 –USB slave/host EM7385
1. Make sure the media player is completely started.
2. Take the supplied USB 3.0 cable out of the packing.
3. Connect the USB cable to the USB 3.0 (slave) connection of the media player
(blue USB connection).
4. Connect the other side of the USB cable to a free USB (3.0) connection of your
computer.
5. Your computer will automatically recognize and install new hardware. Once the
recognition has been finished, the media player’s hard disk will be recognized by
your computer as an extra local hard disk.
6. Use the Windows explorer to browse to the hard disk. You will now be able to
copy data to the hard disk of the media player.
7. The moment you have finished copying the data, you need to safely disconnect
the USB cable from your computer or media player (Right-click the USB sign next
to the clock and click ‘Safely remove hardware’). If not, the media player will not
be able to play the copied files.
8.2 Using the network connection (Samba)
It is also possible to copy your media using the network connection. This way, there is
no need to connect your media player to your computer.
1. Use the navigation buttons to go to ‘Setup’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
2. Select ‘Network’.
3. Make sure ‘SAMBA Server’ is set to ‘On’.
4. Press the ‘Home’ button to return to the main menu.
5. Make sure your computer is started and is connected to the same network as the
media player.
6. Open the Windows Explorer and type: \\IP-Address or type the device name, in
this case: \\EM7385 and press the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard.
7. Double-click ‘HDD’ after which the hard disk content of the media player is
shown.
8. You are now able to copy data from your computer to the hard disk of the media
player using the network connection.

19 |ENGLISH
Important information:
Since the media player is intended to be used as a media player with streaming
capabilities, the transfer rate when copying data using your network is not comparable
to your computer. The media player’s processing unit (CPU) and memory are
specifically designed for media capabilities, not for transferring data as fast as
possible. Since both CPU and memory are also responsible for the network
performances, the transfer rate using the network is not as high in comparison to the
transfer rate of your computer. This means the media player will not reach the same
copying speed and downloading speed as you can reach using a computer!
8.3 Saving a samba share in ‘Favorites’
It is possible to create a shortcut to your Samba shares, by placing this share in the
favorites list. This means you can create a shortcut to a specific folder on a network
device such as a NAS. This way, you do not need to login every time and you do not
have to browse to the specific folder.
1. Use the navigation keys to select ‘Manager’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
2. Select ‘Network’ and press the ‘OK’ button after which the workgroup(s) will be
shown.
3. Select the correct work group and press the ‘OK’ button. The available Samba
server(s) will be shown.
4. Select the Samba server you want to use and press the ‘OK’ button. If you need
to login enter the username and password en press the ‘OK’ button.
5. Select the folder you want to add to the ‘Favorite’ list.
6. Press the ‘Menu’ button and select ‘Add to Favorites’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
7. Return to the main menu.
8. Use the navigation keys to select ‘Favorites’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
9. Select ‘Favorite’ from the main menu and choose the added favorite and press
the ‘OK’ button. You do not have to login manually again and there is no need to
browse through folder!
8.4 Copying files using ‘File Manager’
The media player also has it’s own copy function. Using this function, it is possible to
copy from USB devices, your network and SD cards (only EM7385) to the internal
hard disk of the media player (Only EM7385). Also, it is possible to copy from the
internal hard disk or network to USB devices, your network and SD cards. The big
advantage of this copy method is that copying can be done using the menu of the
media player without the need to physically connect the media player to your
computer. During the following steps we will copy files from a connected USB device
to the internal hard disk of the media player.
1. Connect the USB device to a free USB port of the media player.
2. Select using the navigation buttons ‘Manager’ and press the ‘OK’ button.

control.
5. Choose ‘Copy’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
6. A ‘Copy Destination’ screen appears. Select ‘HDD’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
Select ‘HDD’ again and press the ‘OK’ button.
7. Select the folder you want to copy to and press the ‘OK’ button. If you want to
create a new folder, press the ‘Time Seek’ button. Fill out a name for the new file.
Select ‘OK’ and press the ‘OK’ button on the remote control and then select the
newly created folder and press the ‘OK’ button.
8. Press the ‘Play’ Button to start ‘Copying’. A status screen appears.
9. When copying is finished, you need to press the ‘OK’ button on the remote
control. You will be guided to the file you have just copied.
10. Press the ‘Return’ button several times to return to the main menu.
Hint: You can also copy from the network or a (other) connected USB device to a
connected USB hard disk (Both EM7385 & EM7380)
8.5 Copying files using FTP
The EM7385 and EM7380 both have a FTP server. The FTP server is available if a
internal hard disk is present in the EM7385, or f a USB stick or USB hard disk is
connected to one of the USB ports (EM7385 & EM7380). We recommend to use a
FTP program such as ‘FileZilla’. The following steps were done using ‘FileZilla’.
1. Use the navigation keys to select ‘Setup’ and press the ‘OK’ button.’
2. Select ‘Network’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
3. Make sure you know your media player’s IP-Address. Select ‘Network Info’ and
press the ‘OK’ button after which the (detailed) network information is shown.
Return to the main menu.
4. Open ‘FileZilla’ on your computer.
5. Fill out your media player’s IP-Address at ‘Host’.
6. Fill out the username at the ‘username’ field. If you want to connect to the internal
hard disk of the EM7385, you need to fill out ‘hdd’ as username. If you want to
connect to a connected USB stick or USB hard disk (EM7385 & EM7380), you
need to fill out ‘usb’ as user name.
7. You can fill out any made-up password at the ‘Password’ field.
8. Click ‘Connect’ or press the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard after which the FTP
connection will be made.
9. You can now ‘drag’ files from the local site (your computer) to the ‘external site’
(media player).
