The Playlist Editor allows the creation of simple playlists, but it also allows keyboard keys 

and MIDI notes to be assigned to playlist items. The Playlist Editor automatically assigns a 

default keyboard key to each item in a playlist. Key and MIDI playlist triggers will affect all 

players on the same sync channel when used with synchronization.

Note that all changes to player settings are saved to a file on your USB drive rather than to 

the player itself. The settings file is called andorSettings.cfg and it is a text file that can be 

edited by hand.

The recommended video format is H264/AAC using a .MP4 or .MKV container.

QUICK START GUIDE [deluxe model]

To set up the player, connect the power to the micro-USB connector, hook up either the 

analog audio/video cable or HDMI video cable to your monitor, and insert a USB stick with 

your media files. The player sends video to the analog video output when there is no HDMI 

cable connected.

One of the 4 USB slots is occupied by the remote control transceiver, which is a tiny black 

USB plug. But any of the other 3 USB slots can be used for the USB stick with your media.

The player will automatically play the first video on the inserted USB stick. To select a 

different video, open the menu and choose "select media file". It is not possible to play 

media in subfolders.

The player will synchronize playback with other players that are set to the same sync 

channel when sync is enabled. If the synchronized videos are of different lengths, then the 

shorter videos will be padded with blank video at the end to

make them the same length as the longest video on the channel.

The two menu buttons on the remote both open and close the menu, and the menu can be 

navigated with the directional pad and 'OK' button to change settings. The power button 

toggles sleep mode, and the volume controls adjust the media volume. The button with the 

mouse icon that turns on the remote's "air mouse" is not used at this time.

When the menu is not open, the directional buttons jump forward or back in the playback, 

and OK pauses the video. When players are synchronized, navigation and pause will affect 

all the synchronized players.

Keys on the QWERTY keyboard on the reverse side of the remote control can be assigned 

to play videos and media using the Playlist Editor. The editor will automatically assign a 

default keyboard key for each item in a playlist. It is also possible to assign MIDI notes to 

playlist items. Key and MIDI playlist triggers will affect all players on the same sync channel 

when used with synchronization.

Note that all changes to player settings are saved to a file on your USB drive rather than 

being saved to the player itself. The settings file is called andorSettings.cfg and it is a text 

file that can be edited by hand.

The recommended video format is H264/AAC using a .MP4 or .MKV container.
