USB Port
The USB port on your N100 will allow you to read and write to/from many different USB
devices, including USB external hard drives, USB flash drives, and other portable media
players. External hard drives using the standard FAT32 file system are strongly recommended.
Almost any hard drive can be formatted to FAT32, and most are by default. If in doubt, you
should consult the packaging or manual from the hard drive manufacturer for more information.
Ejection of the storage device (Memory Card, USB Thumbdrive or Hard Drive, ...)
We strongly recommend you use the eject function (similar to the function used on a PC) before
removal of the card or USB device used for storage.
To do so:
1.Go to Play/Browse
2.Highlight the storage device you want to eject
3.Press on the Xi (option) button on the remote control
4.Scroll down to Eject in the window displayed
5.Press Enter
6.Safely remove your storage device (Memory Card, USB Thumbdrive or Hard Drive, ...).
Failure to use this function could lead to detection issues with these storage devices when connected
back and/or corruption issues with the content on the storage devices.
2E. Connecting the IR blaster
This step is required only if you want to use your N100 to control other devices, such as your cable or satellite box, by emulating the
remote control signals of these devices. The most common usage for the IR blaster is to change the channel on your cable or satellite
tuner when doing scheduled TV recordings. This will allow the N100 to record from different TV channels at different times without
you having to be there to manually change the channel.
1. Go to the Settings Menu from the Main Menu and select IR blaster. Follow the on-screen instructions to “teach” your N100
how to emulate the remote control of the other device. You will only need to do this once for each device.
2. Place the bulb end of the IR blaster so that the bulb is looking directly into the IR window on the device you want to control,
and plug the other end into the IR Out port of the N100. Remember, the bulb end of the IR blaster will act just like the IR bulb
inside a remote control. It has to be pointing directly at the device in order to work. You can semi-permanently affix the IR
bulb to a table top by exposing the adhesive strip on the bottom of the base that holds the bulb.
Note
: The IR Blaster only works with IR remotes. It won’t work with UHF or other remotes.
