Frequently Asked Questions (USB)
English
Why does it take so long to display the
contents on my USB device?
– This could be due to the large numbers
of les (>500 les/folders) or size of the
les (>1MB).
– There could be other non-supported les
in the device that this unit is trying to
read/display.
What if unsupported devices (e.g. USB
mouse, keyboards) are plugged into
this unit?
The device may cause this unit to be
unstable. Remove the unsupported device
and unplug the mains cord. Wait for a few
minutes before reconnecting the mains cord
and power on this unit again.
Why does the le name appear to be
different from what was displayed on my
computer (e.g. from “Good Bye. jpg” to
“Good_B~1.jpg”)?
– The length of the le name is restricted
by the le system of the device (FAT16),
which only supports eight (8) characters.
– The computer may be able to display the
full le name as the operating system can
convert the le system.
Is simultaneous USB and Disc playback
possible?
This is not possible due to memory
limitation. In addition, a different user
interface will be needed in order to function
and in order to be simple enough to use.
What happens when I plug in a USB
HDD?
HDD is not supported as the large storage
capacity makes navigation very dif cult.
Transfer the music les (mp3) and photos
(jpg) into a ash drive.
Why does this unit fail to detect my
USB portable music player?
The portable music player may require
propriety software that is bundled with our
system in order to access the contents (eg.
playlist). MTP class not supported, only can
support mass storage class devices.
What types of le does this unit
support?
We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not
NTFS.
Why can’t I rotate the pictures in my
device?
In order to rotate the pictures in the USB
device, the picture must contain EXIF
information, stored by most digital cameras.
This EXIF information may have been
removed when you edit or copy the picture
from other devices using editing programs.
Why can’t this unit play some of my
music les, photos or movies?
The music les may not be playable because
of different formats and encoding bit-rates.
Similarly, the photos may be of low
resolution or too high resolution for this unit
to support.

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold
a given length of music; measured in kilobits
per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which
you record. Generally, the higher the bit
rate, or the higher the recording speed, the
better the sound quality. However, higher bit
rates use more space on a disc.
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music
piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles.
A title is composed of several chapters. Each
chapter is assigned a chapter number
enabling you to locate the chapter you want.
Composite video (CVBS): A single video

subwoofer).
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an
improved matrix decoding technology that
provides better spatiality and directionality
on Dolby Surround program material,
provides a convincing three dimensional
sound eld on conventional stereo music
recordings and is ideally suited to bring the
surround experience to automotive sound.
While conventional surround programming
is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro
Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to
be encoded speci cally to take full advantage
of Pro Logic II playback, including separate
left and right surround channels. (Such
material is also compatible with conventional
Pro Logic decoders).
DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a
surround sound system, but it is different
from the Dolby Digital. The formats were
developed by different companies.
HDMI: High-De nition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI) is a high-speed digital
interface that can transmit uncompressed
high de nition video and digital multichannel
audio. It delivers perfect picture and sound
quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is
fully backward-compatible with DVI.
As required by the HDMI standard,
connecting to HDMI or DVI products
without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) will result in no Video
or Audio output.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) is a speci cation that provides a
secure transmission of digital contents
between different devices (to prevent
unauthorised copyright).
