MAKING CONNECTION

1. CONNECT TO PC

USB Cable

Recommended PC operating systems
include NT/2000/XP SP1 & SP2

When connected to PC, this player can act as two external memory storage devices; the
stored contents can be easily updated by taking the following steps:

- Connect player with built-in H.D.D. to PC through USB cable, Windows Explorer will
show two new devices

- Through USB 2.0 interface, files can be downloaded from PC to CF card or built-in

2.5” H.D.D.

- Duplicate your desired files from PC to CF card &/or 2.5” H.D.D.

2. CONNECT TO PEN DRIVE

A/V files can be easily duplicated to player by using pen drive, before doing so, it is
required to have a small computer program (OTG-Smart) resided in it. Below are
complete step-by-step instructions to set up pen drive for files duplication:

6

Unzip software to pen drive
A1. Insert pen drive into computer’s USB port

A2. Place CD into CD-ROM drive; unzip & extract the file (OTG-SMART) from

CD-ROM to pen drive

A3. Two files, OTGDOS & OTGENG are extracted to pen drive

Create folder in pen drive
B1. Execute OTGDOS by double-click its icon to enter DOS mode

B2. In DOS mode, a folder can be created in pen drive by key in

“otgenc idi_otg.sys xxxxxxxx” & press [ENTER]. xxxxxxxx can be any name
given to this newly created folder. Name of this folder can be any combination of
digits & alphabets; & make sure it doesn’t exceed 8 characters.

B3. New folder with the name just given can be seen in pen drive.

Duplication of audio, video & photo files
C1. Duplicate selected audio, video & photo files from computer to pen drive.

C2. Remove pen drive from computer’s USB port & insert it into USB OTG port of the

player, contents (meaning files not folders) in pen drive will be automatically
duplicated to H.D.D., or to CF card in case H.D.D. is not installed. In case
multiple virtual hard disk drives are existed, contents for sure will be downloaded
into the first virtual drive partitioned.

C3. During duplication of files, red LED is rapidly flashing. When duplication job is

done, both red & green LEDs light up to indicate that pen drive can be removed
from player for reboot. New contents are now played after reboot. Please note,
before duplication taken place, previous contents in CF card will be totally erased
first, but previous contents in HDD will be kept.

What to do when error occurs during files duplication
D1. Slowly-flashing green LED indicates error occurred during duplication. In this

case, turn off the power, remove pen drive, check the presence of H.D.D. & CF
card, & turn power back on to reboot the player.

D2. After reboot, only previous contents of H.D.D. will be played automatically.

Contents (meaning files not folders) in CF card might be totally erased already.

D3. Starting from C1 to redo files duplication.
