You can expand the storage capacity of your receiver by connecting a compatible USB 2.0
hard disk drive. Connecting an external hard drive to your receiver allows you to record
and archive programs.
Choosing a compatible external hard drive:
•
The hard drive must have a USB 2.0 connection.
•
The capacity of the hard drive should be between 40 GB and 2 TB.
•
Using a hard drive with an external power supply is recommended. External hard
drives powered by the USB cable may or may not function properly with your receiver,
depending on the required power.
•
Do-it-yourself kits and expandable racks may not be compatible.
•
Only hard drives that are single-disk units are supported.
•
Dedicate the hard drive for use only with the receiver; do not use the drive for other
purposes, such as storing computer files.
To use the external hard drive feature:
1
Purchase a USB 2.0 hard-disk drive from a local consumer electronics store.
2
Connect the drive to one of the receiver’s two USB ports, making sure to follow any
instructions that came with the hard drive.
Note : Currently, the receiver supports having one USB device connected at a time. If you
have a second USB device such as a camera or portable media player connected to the
receiver, disconnect it before connecting the external hard drive.

If the hard drive is compatible, you’ll receive a popup confirming the connection and
asking if you want to manage its contents. Select Yes .
