Getting Started - Iomega ScreenPlay MX Guide De Démarrage Rapide

Getting Started

Your ScreenPlay MX Multimedia Player is easy to use. Here's what you need to do to get started:
A. Connect the ScreenPlay MX to your computer to transfer files and organize your multimedia library.
B. Turn off power to the ScreenPlay MX, then disconnect it from your computer and connect to your TV.
NOTE: Do not connect the ScreenPlay MX to a computer and a TV set at the same time. If the ScreenPlay MX is
powered on with both connected, USB will boot first and the TV interface will show only the boot screen. If you
connect both while the ScreenPlay MX is powered up, the second connection will not be recognized.
C. Activate the ScreenPlay MX and play your media files on the TV. See detailed instructions below.
Loading Media Files to the ScreenPlay MX
1. Connect the included USB cable to the USB port on the back of the ScreenPlay MX (marked with the USB symbol).
NOTE: The USB connector on the front of the ScreenPlay MX is a USB host port that allows you to connect a
USB device, such as a camera, flash drive, or external hard drive, to the ScreenPlay MX when it's connected to
a TV. See the online user's manual for more information on using the USB host port.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB port on your computer.
3. Connect the power supply to the ScreenPlay MX and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or power outlet.
4. Press the power button on the back of the ScreenPlay MX to turn it on.
5. Copy and paste files to the ScreenPlay MX just as you would with any other drive on your computer.
a. Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to create folders and subfolders on the ScreenPlay MX that will
make it easy to locate your videos, music, and photos.
b. Copy and paste media files from your computer to the folders you've created on your ScreenPlay MX.
c. See the online User's Manual for more suggestions on organizing your multimedia library.
6. Use the safe removal procedure for your operating system to unmount the ScreenPlay MX.
7. Turn off power on the ScreenPlay MX, then disconnect it from your computer.
Playing Media Files on Your TV
1. Connect the ScreenPlay MX to your TV.

to connect video and RCA audio by matching the jack colors on the TV.

2. Connect the power supply to the ScreenPlay MX and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or power outlet.

4. Turn on your TV and change the input setting as needed to receive input from the ScreenPlay MX.
5. Press the STANDBY button on the remote control to activate the ScreenPlay MX for playback. During activation,
the indicator light will blink brightly for several seconds, then glow steadily.
6. When the ScreenPlay MX menu appears on the TV screen, use the arrow keys and ENTER on the remote control
to navigate to the file you want to play.
7. When you've selected the file you want, press the ENTER key on the remote control to start playing the file.
Refer to the online user's manual for more information on using the ScreenPlay MX.
Troubleshooting
TV screen rolls or does not display normally
Press and release the TV SYS key on the remote control and wait a few seconds for the television to adjust to the
setting change. Repeat until the screen displays normally. This process toggles the video ouput setting on the
ScreenPlay MX. When connected to HDMI, it also toggles the TV screen resolution.
NOTE: The TV SYS key functions only when the ScreenPlay MX first boots up and is disabled after you start browsing
the ScreenPlay TV interface. If the TV SYS key is disabled, you can select SETUP: VIDEO from the TV interface to
change the video output setting or TV screen resolution.
