enables the player to auto-detect UPnP Media Servers on the network to browse and stream
media files from them.

4.6.1 Installing UPnP Media Server on your PC

There’re a lot of free and commercial UPnP Media Server software, such as Wi ndows Media
Connect, Windows Media Player 11, XBMC Media Center (Linux/Mac/Windows), MediaTomb
(Linux), etc. Please install one of them on you computer. In the fol lowing chapters, we will take
Windows Media Player 11 on Microsoft Windows XP SP2 for an example.

4.6.2 Sharing Media on your PC

12.2 Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1. 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 ag ain 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 2. 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 (F AT) 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 a s
finder.def or System volume info. These are normal and will not do any harm to the player.

Question 3. 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 oth er
programs are running while using the Windows® defragment utility. Make sure you have
connected the player with the external power adapter during this procedure.

Question 4. 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 5. 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 co rrespo nding parame ters 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 6. Why when I switch to Y/Pb/Pr 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, does the
TV screen display an unwatchable picture?

Answer:

ENGLISH

49 / 56

Please check if your TV supports Y/Pb/Pr 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p 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 7. 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.

Question 8. 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 refreshing the SSID list again.

Question 9. I cannot see files shared on my computer via Browser->Network menu.
Answer:

Please check following items:

1) Connect the player to network and obtain an IP address first;

2) Please enable NetBIOS of TCP/IP on computer;

3) Please check your PC’s firewall settings;

4) Please enable your PC’s ‘Guest’ account;

5) Please share the folders which you wish to browse on your PC, and make sure that
‘Everyone’ or ‘Guest’ has the right to access.

Question 10. I configured everything correctly, but still cannot get the wireless network
or UPnP function to work.

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 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 11. I am using the 802.11n Wi-Fi dongle with an 802.11n wireless router, why
the speed is still 802.11g 54Mbps rather than 300Mbps?

Answer:
The IEEE 802.11n Draft standard prohibits using high throughput with WEP or TKIP as the
unicast cipher. If you use these encryption methods (e.g. WEP, WPA-TKIP), your data rate will
drop to 54 Mbps. You may contact the Access Point or router manufacturer to download the

ENGLISH

50 / 56

latest firmware, or try other encryption methods (WPA2-AES or WPA2-TKIP), or choose to
configure an unsecured profile, but this option is not recommended.

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Bosto n, MA 02110-1301, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to sha re and change it.
By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General
Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other
program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our Gen eral Public
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if
you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you know you can do these things.

To protect your right s, we need to m ake rest rictions t hat forbid any one to deny you the se rights
or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or
can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by
someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the
original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'

ENGLISH

52 / 56

reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the
danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follo w.
TERMS AND CONDITIO NS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the

copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the
Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say,
a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the
term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program i s not restricted, and the output from
the Program is covered only if its contents co nstitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depend s on
what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it,

in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refe r to
this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program
a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option
offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work

based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contain s or is
derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads command s intera ctively when run, yo u must ca use it,
when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty
(or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under

ENGLISH

53 / 56

these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the
Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work
based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work
are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections
when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as
part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole,
and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative
or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or
with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not
bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work ba sed on it, under Section 2) in object

code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do
one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must
be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a
charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding
source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it
contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so o n) of the operating system
on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same

ENGLISH

54 / 56

place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are n ot compelled to
copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly

provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not sign ed it. However, nothing

else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient

automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on
the recipients' exercise of the rights g ranted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other

reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a conse quence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly
through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance,
the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right
claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license
practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to
the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system
and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the
rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by

patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright hold er who places the Program
under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excludi ng those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General

Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems o r co ncerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version
number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version publish ed by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution

conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving
the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of prom oting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO

WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
OTHER P AR TIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS
WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN

WRITING WILL ANY COP Y RIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
