Playing Files from USB Devices and CD/DVD Data Discs

Your BDS receiver can play MP3 (up to 320kbps bitrate) audio files, display JPEG photos and show MPEG 1 (layer 1), MPEG 2 (layers 2 and 3), and DivX home theater profile audio/video files stored on a USB device or a CD/DVD data disc.

IMPORTANT: Only media in the FAT32 file system are compatible with your BDS receiver.

To access files on a device inserted into the receiver’s USB port, press the Home button and select USB from the source list on the screen.

Listening to Audio Sources

Press the Aux button on the remote control. The receiver will switch to the audio input that was selected last. Subsequent presses of the Aux button will advance through the audio inputs in the following order: Coaxial, Optical 2, Optical 1, Stereo L/R 1, Stereo L/R 2 and the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel).

The Aux Input Now Playing screen will appear on the TV.

In addition to playing the Aux source through the receiver, pressing the Aux button places the remote in the Aux-control mode. If you programmed the remote to control auxiliary components (either by entering in a code number or teaching commands to the remote), the remote will now operate according to that programming.

Lip sync delay: When playing an Aux source, audio and video processing circuitry may create a slight delay between the picture and sound. Pressing the Options button lets you adjust the audio delay to eliminate “lip sync” errors that may occur between the sound and picture in video programs with sound playing through one of the receiver’s rear-panel audio inputs. Use the Cursor Up/Down buttons to increase or decrease the audio delay until the perceived lip-sync errors disappear and the sound and picture are properly synchronized. The amount of audio delay is shown on the receiver’s front-panel Information display.
