PC Operation 

Using the Utility Programs 

The utility programs contain “Playlist Manager” and “Private Folder Manager”. The 

Playlist Manager creates a collection of media files which can be played contiguously; while 

the Private Folder Manager allows you to set specific folders in this device as “Locked 

Folders”, which will not be displayed on TV or PC operation until a correct password is 

entered. You can use this program to protect your precious data from unauthorized accesses. 

The “Playlist Manager” supports Windows Vista/XP/2000 only; the “Private Folder Manager” 

supports Windows Vista/XP/2000/Me/98SE. 

 

Playlist Manager 

If your OS is Windows Vista/XP/2000, you can use the Playlist Manager Utility to create 

Playlists consist of blending video, audio, and photo files. A total 2048 files can be added to a 

single Playlist.   

 Note:

 

A Playlist is a .m3u file; you can also use the .m3u file established by other 

software players, such as Windows Media Player or Winamp. If you find your 

Playlist missing during TV operation, open it with our Playlist Manager and 

save it again.
