Your ScreenPlay TV Link includes support for downloading and playing torrent files from
the Internet. The term "torrent" refers to BitTorrent, a common peer-to-peer (P2P) file
sharing protocol used on the Internet. This file sharing method requires .torrent files that
are downloaded from a torrent tracker—a special server that tracks which peers are
sharing a file. The torrent tracker does not actually host a copy of the files that are being
shared. Each peer shares portions of the torrent once it has been downloaded. File transfer
rates increase as more peers participate in the download.
Here's how to download and play torrents using ScreenPlay TV Link:
1. Using a computer connected to the same network as the ScreenPlay TV Link, locate
the torrent you want on the Internet.
Page 32 of 66
2. Download the torrent file from the torrent tracker and save it to an external USB
storage device or a network volume connected to the ScreenPlay TV Link.
NOTE: If you are using an external USB device, make sure it has enough space
available for the complete media files associated with the torrent.
3. To start downloading the complete media files for the torrent, use the ScreenPlay TV
interface to navigate to the torrent file, then press Enter [ ↵ ].
4. Use the Torrent control panel to track the download process and stop or restart it if
needed.
5. When the download process is complete for all files in the torrent, select Import in
the Torrent control panel to make the media files visible in the ScreenPlay TV
interface.
NOTE: While the files are importing, other functions on the ScreenPlay TV Link will be
temporarily suspended. This can take several seconds or more depending on the
number of files in the torrent.
6. Use the ScreenPlay TV interface to locate the downloaded media files. You can now
play or copy the files like any other media files.
NOTE: Only supported file types will be visible on the TV interface.

Some media files will not play
 Confirm that the file format is supported on the ScreenPlay. Refer to Supported
Media Formats for information on supported file types and filename extensions.
 Make sure the file is not compressed.
 Make sure the media file is not damaged. If available, try replacing the file with a
known-good copy.
 If the file still will not play, it might be due to an incompatible codec. Even with a
supported file type, ScreenPlay TV Link might not be able to support every codec
Page 54 of 66
used to create that type of media file. With container formats, like MKV, that use
multiple codecs for the various data streams included in the container, all of the
codecs must be supported in order for ScreenPlay TV Link to play the file.
For additional information on codecs and codec incompatibilities, please visit

the support area on www.iomega.com.

 Limitations
Coverage
Iomega warrants this hardware product to be free from defects in materials and
workmanship for the warranty period. This non-transferable, limited warranty is only to
you, the first end-user purchaser. The warranty begins on the date of purchase and lasts
for a period of one (1) year for product purchased in the Americas or the Asia-Pacific
region; ninety (90) days for Iomega reconditioned products purchased in these regions; or,
two (2) years for product purchased by an end-user in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa.
Customers who register their new products at www.iomegareg.com within 90 days of
purchase will receive a warranty extension so that their total warranty shall be a period of
three (3) years in all regions.
NOTE: Reconditioned products are not eligible for a warranty extension.
Excluded Products and Problems
This warranty does not apply to: (a) Iomega software products; (b) expendable components
such as fuses or bulbs; or (c) third party products, hardware or software, supplied with the
warranted product. Iomega makes no warranty of any kind on such products which, if
included, are provided “AS IS.”
This warranty does not cover damage caused by accident, misuse, abuse, failure to follow
instructions given in the product documentation, use of non-Iomega supplied or approved
replaceable components, exposure of media to excessive magnetic fields, external
environmental causes, or damage arising from any cause or causes for which Iomega is not
responsible such as exposure to abnormal temperatures, shock, power surges, power
outages, improper power supply, or damage caused while the product is being shipped
from you to Iomega.
Your Iomega product may contain certain replaceable components such as hard drives or
power supplies. Refer to your product documentation or contact Iomega to determine
whether specific components are replaceable. Any alteration, change, modification, or
repair (other than replacement of a replaceable component) made to the product by a party
other than Iomega or Iomega's authorized service provider will void this warranty.

Remedies
Your sole and exclusive remedy for a covered defect is repair or replacement of the
defective product, at Iomega’s sole option and expense (shipping may be charged), and
Iomega may use new or refurbished parts or products to do so. The replaced part/product
will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty or three (3) months from the
date of shipment of such parts/products, whichever is longer. If Iomega is unable to repair
or replace a defective product, your alternate exclusive remedy shall be a refund of the
original purchase price.
The above is Iomega’s entire obligation to you under this warranty. IN NO EVENT SHALL
IOMEGA BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR
LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, USE, OR PROFITS EVEN IF IOMEGA HAS BEEN ADVISED
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In no event shall Iomega’s liability exceed the
original purchase price of the drive or the media disk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.
