GoFlex Cinema™ Multimedia Drive User Guide 10
Powering On

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.

GoFlex Cinema™ Multimedia Drive User Guide 11
Connecting External USB Devices
Note: The GoFlex Cinema multimedia drive indexes newly added media files each time it’s powered
on. If you’ve added only a few new files, indexing will happen quickly. If you’ve added a lot of
new files, indexing will take longer.
You can start browsing and enjoying your media files right away, even if the indexing process
isn’t complete yet. See the chapters on watching videos (page 24), viewing photos (page 31),
and listening to music (page 28) for help getting started.
Note: If the on-screen menus are not in your preferred language, see “Changing the Menu
Language” on page 41 for assistance.
Connecting External USB Devices
You can enjoy media files stored on a digital camera, digital camcorder, or external USB drive
(like a GoFlex®drive, flash drive, or thumb drive) by connecting the device to the GoFlex
Cinema multimedia drive. (See the figure on page 6 for help finding the USB port.)
Note: You can connect only one external USB device at a time to the multimedia drive. Using a USB
hub to connect multiple devices won’t work.
When you connect a USB device to the multimedia drive, the Home screen opens and the
device appears as an icon.
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.
The GoFlex Cinema multimedia drive prompts you to select either Continue or Cancel to
transfer your files. Whichever choice you make, GoFlex Cinema remembers your preference
and does not prompt you the next time you connect that particular USB device.
•Select Continue, then click OK to have the multimedia drive automatically search the
device, then copy and index the media files it finds. This may take a few moments, but
you can start browsing and enjoying your media files right away, even before indexing is
complete.
Note: The GoFlex Cinema multimedia drive does not ignore duplicate file names. See “Avoiding
Duplicate Files on the Multimedia Drive” on page 22 for more information.)
The files are placed in a new folder within the USB Imports folder, and organized as
Videos, Photos, and Music. The new folder name is based on the creation date and time
of the most recent file.

GoFlex Cinema™ Multimedia Drive User Guide 12
Navigating GoFlex Cinema™ Screens and Menus
The folder structure looks like this:
USB Imports > [Folder named with date and time] > Videos > [Copied video files]
USB Imports > [Folder named with date and time] > Music > [Copied music files]
USB Imports > [Folder named with date and time] > Photos > [Copied photo files]
For example:
USB Imports > 2011-07-01 12:00 > Videos > OurTriptoAfrica.mpg
•Select Cancel, then click OK to transfer your files manually, using the Copy and Move
features of the multimedia drive. This way you can retain the original folder structure so
that your files appear the same way they’re organized on your USB device (for instance,
with digital videos and photos contained in the same folder).
See “Moving or Copying Files with the GoFlex Cinema™ Multimedia Drive” on page 20 for
more information.
One helpful guideline is to use automatic transfer for digital cameras and camcorders, and
manual transfer for external USB drives.
For help viewing photos and videos from your digital camera or camcorder, see “Playing a
Personal Video from a Digital Camcorder” on page 27 or “Viewing Photos from a Digital
Camera” on page 33.
Navigating GoFlex Cinema™ Screens and Menus
The GoFlex Cinema user interface (UI) is easy to navigate using the included remote control.
This section describes the main screens, how to use the remote, and how to find the screens
you’re looking for.
Note: In this User Guide, all instructions refer to the remote. For instance, “Press Menu, select
Photos, then press OK”means to press the Menu button on the remote, use the arrow

Finding the Files You’re Looking For
You can search your media files three ways:
•By browsing through the full list of videos (see page 25), photos (see page 31), or music
(see page 29).
•By browsing through your files as they are stored on the multimedia drive and any USB
device connected to it (see page 20).
•By searching the index compiled by the multimedia drive (see the next section).
Searching for a Specific File
