HP DreamScreen User Guide

Using a PC as an External Media Source

You can use a PC as an external source for photos, music, and videos. The media can be
copied from the PC while the HP DreamScreen is at the main menu.

Plug in the power adapter and connect it to the HP DreamScreen to turn it on. Then wait
for the HP DreamScreen to go into the main menu.

Connect the small (mini) end of the USB cable to the mini-USB port on the
HP DreamScreen.

Connect the large (A connector) end of the USB cable to a USB port on your PC. See the
following illustration.

The HP DreamScreen stops responding to the remote control and the buttons on the
bezel, and displays the following message:

Screen is Connected to PC
Unplug the USB cable to start using the Screen again

The PC will detect the HP DreamScreen and install it as a USB disk device with the
following folders:

mymusic

myphoto

myvideo

Open a Microsoft

Windows

Explorer session and open the USB disk device to the

media folder to which you want to copy.
