You can connect 2.5” and 3.5” inch (HDD with external power
supply) external hard disk drives or USB memory stick to your
TV by using the USB input(s) of the TV.
IMPORTANT!
Back up the files on your storage devices
before connecting them to the TV. Manufacturer will
not be responsible for any file damage or data loss.
Certain types of USB devices (e.g. MP3 Players)
or USB hard disk drives/memory sticks may not be
compatible with this TV. The TV supports FAT32 and
NTFS disk formatting but
recording will not be available
with NTFS formatted disks.
While formatting USB hard drives which have
more than 1TB (Tera Byte) storage space you may
experience some problems in the formatting process.
Wait a little while before each plugging and unplugging
as the player may still be reading files. Failure to do
so may cause physical damage to the USB player
and the USB device itself. Do not pull out your drive
while playing a file.
You can use USB hubs with your TV’s USB input(s).
External power supplied USB hubs are recommended
in such a case.
It is recommended to use the TV’s USB input(s)
directly, if you are going to connect a USB hard disk.
Note:
When viewing media files the
Media Browser
menu
can only display a maximum of 1000 media files per folder.

different partitions are supported. The first partition
of the USB disk is used for USB Recording ready
features. It also must be formatted as the primary
partition to be used for the USB Recording ready
features.
Some stream packets may not be recorded because
of signal problems, as a result sometimes videos may
