The utility program allows you to set the folders in Mobile Video HDD as “Private” or “Public”.
When using this unit as a Media Player, the “Public Folder” will be displayed on TV, but the
“Private folder” will not be displayed. You can use this function to hide the folders that you don’t
want other people to playback.
