      If your LaCie Storage drive is not running at Hi-Speed USB 2.0 levels, make sure that the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 drivers for both your host bus adapter and device are correctly installed. If you're unsure, uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Also, connect directly to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port on your computer, as performance isn't guaranteed when connected to a hub.

      If you're getting black and white picture or no image on your television when using LaCie Cinema PlayHD, ensure the video setting on your TV matches the cable connection from the LaCinema PlayHD. Check that all cables are securely connected to both the TV and the LaCinema PlayHD. If the video is discolored, press the Info button on the remote until the correct image appears. You can also adjust settings in the Settings menu under Video.
