Tips for Using
 USB Storage Devices
 yOnly a USB storage device is 
recognizable.
 yUSB hubs are not supported.
 yA USB storage device which uses its 
own driver may not be recognized.
 yThe recognition speed of a USB 
storage device will depend on each 
device.
 yPlease do not turn off the projector 
or unplug the USB device when the 
connected USB storage device is 
operating. When such a device is 
suddenly separated or unplugged, 
the stored files or the USB storage 
device may be damaged.
 yPlease do not connect the USB 
storage device which was artificially 
maneuvered on the PC. The 
device may cause the product to 
malfunction or fail to be played. 
Never forget to use only a USB 
storage device which has normal 
music files, image files, movie files 
or text files.
 yPlease use only a USB storage 
device which was formatted as 
a FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS file 
system provided with the Windows 
operating system. In case of a 
storage device formatted as a 
different utility programmed which 
is not supported by Windows, it 
may not be recognized.
 yPlease connect power to a USB 
storage device which requires an 
external power supply. If not, the 
device may not be recognized.
 yPlease connect a USB storage 
device with cable is offered by USB

not offered by USB maker or an 
excessively long cable, the device 
may not be recognized.

too long, it will not be displayed or 
recognized.
 yFile alignment method of USB 
storage device is similar to 
Window XP and filename with up 
to 100 english characters can be 
recognized.
 yPlease backup important files 
because a data of USB device may 
be damaged. Data management 
is consumer’s responsibility and 
in consequence the manufactures 
does not cover data damage.
 yThe recommended capacity is 1TB 
or less for a USB external hard disk 
and 32GB or less for USB memory. 
Any device with more than the 
recommended capacity may not 
work properly.
 yIf the USB memory device does 
not work properly, disconnect and 
reconnect it.
 yIf a USB external hard disk with a 
“Energy Saving” function does not 
work, turn the hard disk off and on 
again to make it work properly.
 yUSB storage devices below USB 2.0 
are supported as well. But they may 
not work properly in the movie list.
