10.2 Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1. My computer does not recognize my player.
Answer:
(1) Make sure the player is powered on. If it is off, the computer will not be able
to find the player;
(2) Make sure the player is connected to computer. (Refer to 1.4.1 for
connecting player to computer);
(3) When using Windows 98SE, install the USB driver first. After installation,
restart the computer. Then reconnect the player to the computer. (Refer to
1.4.1 for connecting player to computer);
(4) If you installed the Windows 98SE driver over your Windows® XP, 2000, or
ME edition, problems might occur;
(5) It is not recommend using the USB ports in the front of your computer, try to
use the USB ports in the rear, because the USB ports in the front are often
from non-powered hubs.
Question 2. When I try to disconnect the USB device, I keep on getting
“The device „Generic volume‟ cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping
the device again later.” message, what should I do?
Answer:
Close any program that might be accessing data on the player, including
Windows® Explorer. If it does not work, close all programs and wait for another
20 seconds, then try the green arrow icon again. If it still does not work, you
should shut down the player and disconnect the USB cable.
Question 3. I find new file names and folder names that I never created
before or they have strange gibberish names.
Answer:
Most likely, the player‟s file allocation table (FAT) has been corrupted. This
might be due to the player shutting down (due to low battery power) while
reading or writing to your computer by the USB connection. Windows and
Macintosh often write extra files to the hard disk such as finder.def or System
volume info. These are normal and will not do any harm to the player.
Question 4. I used my player to transfer files back and forth between
different computers. Will defragmenting the player hard disk do any harm
to it?
Answer:
Defragmenting the player hard disk may be useful after having transferred
many files to and from the player. It is never harmful to use the defragment on
the player. Make sure no other programs are running while using the
Windows® defragment utility. Make sure you have connected the player with
53
the external power adapter during this procedure.
Question 5. My files have disappeared from the player.
Answer:
Make sure that you browse your files via the correct Browser mode which
means correct filtered views such as Photos, Music, or Movies.
Question 6. Why do some supported photo formats, cannot be shown in
the photo function?
Answer:
In the JPEG format there are different modes. The player doesn‟t support all
the modes. So you have to change your photo format first as follow:
(1) Use Photoshop to open the photo;
(2) Choose ”File” then “save as” from the menu, as the picture on the left hand
side shows, select the picture format as JPEG, input the file name and click the
“save” icon;
(3) After click on the “save” icon, a new window will appear as the picture on
the right hand side shows, select “Baseline(standard)” or “Baseline optimized”;
(4) Click the “OK” icon.
Question 7. During power on, why does the TV will have a short flashing,
blue screen or screensaver?
Answer:
This is normal, when the system initializes, it will setup the corresponding
parameters so it can output the correct video signal to the TV, during the
initializing time, the TV will receive incorrect signals or the signals will not be
stable and will cause the TV screen to flash, some TV‟s will treat this as no
signal, and will display a blue screen or screensaver.
Question 8. Why when I switch to Y/Pb/Pr 480P, 576P, 720P, 1080I, does
the TV screen display an unwatchable picture?
54
Answer:
Please check if your TV supports Y/Pb/Pr 480P, 576P, 720P, 1080I output, if
your TV does not support, please use the A/V signal display instead, press the
TV SYSYEM button on the remote control, then switch the TV‟s video input to
NTSC or PAL.
Question 9. Why is there no sound on movie or music playback when
using Y/Pb/Pr component output?
Answer:
Y/Pb/Pr output is a video output only, and does not include sound signals,
when using Y/Pb/Pr output, please plug the A/V OUT or the S/PDIF jack to
output sound.
Question10. Why couldn‟t the player find the hard disc?
Answer:
Make sure the firmware is installed correctly, and no system partitions on the
HDD were deleted. If hard disc failure occurs, please backup your data and
reinstall the firmware using the firmware in the Driver CD which is provided
along with the player.
Question11. While playing movies in the multimedia partition, buttons
like PREV, NEXT, A-B, etc. sometimes could not be used.
Answer:
The above functions are designed for IFO (DVD) files only.
Question 12. I cannot get SSID name, the screen always displays: „Can‟t
get any SSID!!‟
Answer:
When the WLAN USB Adapter is connected to the player, it needs some time
to get initialized. Please wait for about 1~2 minutes and try again. Then it will
work properly.
Question 13. I configured everything correctly, but still cannot get the
wireless network connected.
Answer:
Are you using a firewall such as Norton Internet Security, McAfee Personal
Firewall, Zone Alarm, etc. or even the built-in firewall of Windows XP? (Don‟t
forget that Service Pack 2 for Windows XP automatically upgrades your
firewall and turn it on by default)
If you have a firewall, it may need to be configured or have exceptions created
to allow you to see and communicate with the player on the network. To test if
your firewall is preventing network communication (including PING and access
shared folders), try disabling it to see if you can connect. If you can connect
55
with the firewall disabled, you may need to add the player to the „Trusted‟ list or
configure the firewall for local intranet access. Worst-case, disable your firewall
long enough to use the player, then enable it again when done.
Question 14. When I am using the NAS function, I cannot copy files to the
player.
Answer:
Please check the file system format of the hard disc drive partitions on the
player. NTFS partitions are read-only on the system. Therefore, files cannot be
written onto any NTFS partitions via the NAS mode. However, you can copy
the files you wish to the NTFS partitions via a USB cable.
