Media File Playback
This product can also play digital media documents apart from standard disc formats such as blue-ray discs, DVD,
CD and SACD. You can appreciate data discs (recordable CD, DVD or blue-ray discs), USB flash disks, hard
disks or network storage devices.
Owing to diversity of media documents, coding software and technologies, we cannot assure compatibility with
all your original or downloaded content, but we will try our best to provide support in respect of such content.
Playback from USB Storage Devices
This product has two USB ports: including one USB 3.0 port on the back panel and one USB 2.0 port on the front
panel. You can connect a USB storage device to either of these USB ports.
The USB ports are used for supplying maximum power supply (5 V, 500 mA) for USB storage devices. This
power supply is high enough for all USB flash disks and flash memory card readers, but might be insufficient for
USB flash disks.
Therefore, in using USB flash disks, you’d better use external power supply. The USB port on the front panel is
only used for upgrading, and must not be utilized for supplying power t
Notes
This function is for USB storage devices only. This type of equipment is compatible with a majority of USB
flash disks, mobile hard disks and card readers. For other devices (including MP3 players, digital cameras
and cellphones), there might be compatibility problems.
All compatible USB storage devices must be in FAT, FAT32, exFAT formats and compatible with NTFS.
Incompatible USB storage devices might make the player stop responding. Under this circumstance, it is
only necessary to switch off power supply and remove the USB storage device before turning on the player
again.
The player reads the USB storage devices under the read-only mode. To minimize risks of data damages,
you’d better not remove the USB devices until the player stops playing.
