• It is possible that certain types of USB devices (e.g.
MP3 Players) or USB hard disk drives/memory
sticks may not be compatible with this device.
• The device may not support all disk formats. If you
connect a USB disk with an unsupported format,
then you will be asked to format the content. See
the section, “Format Disk” in the following pages
for more information on disk formatting.
Note that
ALL the data stored on the USB disk will be lost
and then the disk format will be converted to
FAT32 in such a case.
USB Disk Connection
• Plug your USB device to the USB input of the
box.
NOTE:
Plug or unplug your USB disk while the
box is switched off. If you are going to connect a USB
hard disk drive to the box, USB connection cable used
between the disk drive and the box should have a USB
logo and should be as short as possible.
While formatting a USB hard disk that has 1TB (Tera
Byte) or more
fi
le capacity, you can experience problems
with the formatting process. In such a case, you should
format the disk with your personal computer and the
formatted disk type is recommended as FAT32.
CAUTION
Quickly plugging and unplugging USB devices,
is a very hazardous operation. Especially, do not
repeatedly quickly plug and unplug the drive. This
may cause physical damage to the USB player and
especially the USB device itself.
Do not pull out USB module while playing or
recording a
fi
le.

connect a USB disk or an external hard disk drive
to the box and connected USB disk should have
at least 1 GB capacity and should have 2.0 speed
compatibility. If the connected USB device does
not support 2.0 speed, an error message will be

directory of the connected USB disk: \DVR\RECS.
An .ifo file is created for each recording. This
