Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Getting Started Overview The Media Hub is designed to store your media content in one location for convenient access. (There are additional ways to use the Media Hub; refer to Chapter 3: Ways to Use the Media Hub, page 5.) The Media Hub offers three ways to help you copy files to the Media Hub. This chapter describes how to use the Media Importer, NTI Shadow (Windows only), and the Copy-and-Paste feature. (FTP is another option for copying files.) You can copy media files from a computer or other network device. You can also copy media files from a USB storage device or memory card directly connected to the Media Hub. NOTE: Only the Media Hub with LCD (NMH400 Series) supports direct connection of memory cards. NOTE: The Media Hub does not support the use of apostrophes in file, folder, or device names. Please remove any apostrophes from file or folder names before you copy them to the Media Hub, and please rename your USB storage device or memory card before you connect it to the Media Hub. Media Importer The Media Importer is the import tool that was automatically installed by the Setup Wizard. It supports most popular formats, such as mp3, jpg, and mpg files.
