Slow operation of the USB flash drive.	- Large file size or high memory USB flash drive takes longer time to read and display on the TV.

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.

Specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

Analog audio: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analog sound is available when you use the AUDIO LEFT/RIGHT jacks. These red and white jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.

Aspect ratio: Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV. The ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a high-definition or wide TV is 16:9. The letter box allows you to enjoy a picture with a wider perspective on a standard 4:3 screen.

AUDIO OUT jacks: Jacks on the back of this unit that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a disc.

Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

CVBS: Composite video (or Composite Video Blanking and Sync). A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products.

Disc Menu: A screen display prepared for allowing a selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc., recorded on a DVD.

DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending, MPEG-4 based video compression technology, developed by DivX Networks, Inc., that can shrink digital video to sizes small enough to be transported over the internet, while maintaining high visual quality.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right, center and subwoofer).

JPEG: A very common digital still picture format. A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio. Files are recognized by their file extension 'JPG or JPEG'.

MP3: A file format with a sound data compression system. 'MP3' is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group I (or MPEG-I) Audio Layer3. By using the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times more data than a regular CD.

Parental Control: A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback will be prohibited if the software's level is higher than the user-set level.

PBC: Playback Control. A system of navigating a Video CD/Super VCD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. You can enjoy interactive playback and searching.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.

Progressive Scan: The progressive scan displays twice the number of frames per second than in an ordinary TV system. It offers higher picture resolution and quality.

Region code: A system allowing discs to be played only in the region designated. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking at the product label. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or ALL regions).

Title: The longest section of a movie or music feature on DVD. Each title is assigned a title number, enabling you to locate the title you want.

TV OUT jack: Jack on the back of this unit that sends out video signals to the TV.

WMA: Windows Media™ Audio. Refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 9 or Windows Media Player for Windows XP. Files are recognized by their file extension 'WMA'.
