Copy photos from select digital cameras and storage devices to the receiver’s hard-disk
drive for viewing on the connected TV (options vary by receiver model). Now you don’t
have to pass photos around or have a crowd of people hover around your digital camera.

External Hard Drive
You can expand the storage capacity of your receiver’s DVR by connecting a compatible,
external USB 2.0 hard-disk drive (HDD). With the Archiving feature, you can transfer
programs from the receiver to your external storage device, as well as play back programs
directly from a connected external drive.
To choose a compatible external hard-disk drive, consider the following:
• The hard-disk drive must have a USB 2.0 data connection.
• The capacity of the hard drive should be between 40GB and 1 TB.
• Using a hard-disk drive with an external power supply is recommended. External hard
drives powered only by USB cable(s) may not function properly with your receiver.
• Do-it-yourself expansion kits and expandable storage racks may not be compatible.
