Sony HD DI Instructions

Here is what went on with my HD HI Endcap for Sony:

(1) the thumbdrive that I had only showed a autotxt file and a mediabox.bin file
(2) I could not get the files to copy and paste into the hard drive
(3) after 3 phone calls I finally got someone on the line after 45 minutes that person decided that I needed to have Geek Squad upload (1) file onto the thumbdrive

Here are the directions for uploading the files into the thumbdrive (I apologize for not having the exact file names, but I am told by Geek Squad that it's easy to read)

Insert your thumbdrive and get ready to download files into the device:
go to: HTPS://MTI.sharefile.com/
email address: mosaictech@hotmail.com
password: mosaic
Click on: Best Buy folder
You will see (3) files: AUTOPLAY.txt
Mediabox.bin
Best Buy ___ camcorder
Download the files that are missing from your thumbdrive
download files

What happened to me is, the first time "Maria" forgot to tell me that the auto.txt should be AUTO.TXT (all caps); so Geek Squad only downloaded the Best Buy_camcorder file (which is a wav. file I believe)
Then, after another day of this not working, I find out that my auto.txt wasn't correct, I had GS download that file and all 3 files were now there.

However, now the issue is that I can't copy/paste ANYTHING from the thumbdrive to the hard drive and we have ordered a new "media manager" for the Media Box. If you need that number: VPD476-0630-00 that is for the new media manager (Vendor Provided Dislay) and it has new firmware and new software. Right now I am running the thumbdrive off the Media Box. It has some glitches, but works most of the time.

The new wav. file should look like: (1) a sony camera on black background, (2) a family in a park with kids ... the file should NOT be the arboretum / flowers / cactus shots.

Hope this might help someone.
