From a USB Connection

You can view your photos or play your music and videos from a connected USB flash drive or USB Hard Drive.

You can search a file with the search field or browse your files in the folder structure you have organised on the drive.

The TV will also bundle your Media files according to their type

 Videos,  Photos or  Music. The colour key functions and the options in  OPTIONS are therefore dedicated for each type.

From a Computer or NAS

You can view your photos or play your music and videos from a computer or a NAS (Network Attached Storage) in your home network.

If the Media Server supports searching for files, a search field is available.
