Overview of the Media Center
Supported File Formats for the Media  Center
The 
Media Center is a central location for you to upload and view or listen to different types of content (for example, 
your photos, music and movies) through the following methods:
•  A personal device (for example, a USB thumb drive or USB hard drive)
•  A 
Cloud Services application (for example, Dropbox, Skydrive or Google Drive) or by
•  Streaming -- Through streaming, your devices will communicate with each other over your home network that you 
use for Internet service and enable you to do things like view movies in one room and listen to music in another 
room of your home.
When you connect your personal devices to the TV, the 
Media Center automatically detects it. A Media Device 
Detected window displays on the screen and prompts you to select the device to include in your Media Collection.
Depending on the device, it may take a moment for the 
Media Center to detect it. If a Media Device Detected 
window does not appear within a few minutes, then try connecting the device to one of the other USB ports.
For example, if you have photos on the device, the 
Media Center collects and displays information such as the 
Album Name (Folder Name), Folder Location, Date Created and Number of Photos.
If you have videos on the device, the 
Media Center collects and displays information such as the Duration, File 
Size, Date Created and Number of Times Watched.
