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 files (>500 files/folders) or size of the files (>1MB.)

There could be other non-supported files in the device that the system is trying to read/display.

What if non-supported devices (e.g. USB mouse, keyboards) are plugged into the unit?

The device may cause the unit to be unstable. Remove the non-supported device and unplug the power cord. Wait for a few minutes before reconnecting the power cord and power on the unit again.

What happens when I plug in a USB HDD?

HDD is not supported as the large storage capacity makes navigation very difficult. Transfer the music files (mp3) and photos (jpg) into a USB flash drive.

Why does the unit fail to detect my USB portable music player?

The portable music player may require propriety software that is bundled with the unit in order to access the contents (eg. playlist.) The unit can only support mass storage class device, but not Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) class.

What types of file does the unit support?

We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not NTFS.

Why does the file 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 file name is restricted by the file system of the device (FAT16), which only supports eight (8) characters.

The computer may be able to display the full file name as the operating system can convert the file 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.

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 the unit play some of my music files, photos or movies?

The music files 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 the unit to support.
