Chapter 3 Using the Media Port With the Multimedia Viewer you can enjoy digital content such as photos, music, and movies on your
HDTV using a USB flash drive connected to the Media Port on the left-hand side of the TV.
USB drives that are USB 2.0 and FAT or FAT32 are supported but the Media Port does not support hard
drives or USB hubs.
If your USB drive is oversized and does not physically fit in the Media Port, use a USB extension cable.
Connect one end of the cable to your USB drive and the other end to the Media Port.
