Frequently Asked Questions (USB)
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”)?
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.)
–
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.
–
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?
Is simultaneous USB and Disc playback
possible?
–
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.
–
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.
What happens when I plug in a USB
HDD?
Why can’t I rotate the pictures in my
device?
–
HDD is not supported as the large
storage capacity makes navigation very
difficult. Transfer the music files (mpꢂ)
and photos (jpg) into a USB flash drive.
–
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 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.
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.
What types of file does the unit
support?
–
We support only FAT16 and FATꢂꢀ, not
NTFS.

Glossary
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.
DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending,
MPEG-ꢁ 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.
Aspect ratio: Aspect ratio refers to the
length to height ratio of TV. The ratio of a
standard TV is ꢁ:ꢂ, 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 ꢁ:ꢂ screen.
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).
AUDIO OUT jacks: Jacks on the back of
this unit that send audio to another system
(TV, Stereo, etc.).
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
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.
compression ratio. Files are recognized by
their file extension ‘JPG or JPEG’.
MP3: A file format with a sound data
compression system. ‘MPꢂ’ is the
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layerꢂ. By
using the MPꢂ format, one CD-R or CD-RW
can contain about 10 times more data than a
regular CD.
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.
Multi-channel: DVD is specified to have
each sound track constitute one sound field.
Multi-channel refers to a structure of sound
tracks having three or more channels.
CVBS: Composite video (or Composite
Video Blanking and Sync). A single video
signal commonly used in most consumer
video products.
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
