MEDIA FILE PLAYBACK
In addition to playing standard disc-based formats such as Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD and SACD, the UMT can play media files. You can
enjoy digital music, movies and photos stored on a data disc (recordable CD, DVD or Blu-ray) or an external USB drive. Due to the
variation of media, encoding software and techniques used, compatibility cannot be guaranteed for all user-created or downloaded content.
Support for such content is on a best effort basis.
Playback from a USB Flash Drive
The UMT is equipped with three USB ports (one on the front panel and two on the back). You may use any of the USB ports to plug in
a USB drive.
The USB ports are rated to provide a maximum of 5V, 1000mA power to the USB drive. It is sufficient for USB thumb drives and flash
memory card readers, but may not be sufficient for USB hard disks. It is recommended to check with your drive manufacturer for power
requirement, or use an external power supply.
Supported USB Drives
• This unit supports “USB Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport” devices only. Most USB thumbs drives, portable hard disk drives
and card readers conform to this device class. Other USB devices such as MP3 players, digital cameras, and mobile phones may not
be compatible.
• Supported USB drives can be formatted with the FAT (File Allocation Table), FAT32 or NTFS
(New Technology File System) file system.
• In some cases, an incompatible USB device may cause the player to stop responding. If this
occurs simply turn off the power, remove the USB device, and turn the player back on.
• The player accesses the USB drive in read-only mode. In order to minimize the risk of data
corruption, it is recommended that you only unplug the USB device when playback is completely
stopped.
In-home Network Media Sharing
The UMT can remotely play back music, photo, and video files stored on media devices that are connected to the same home network.
You will need to prepare hardware such as a computer or NAS (Network Attached Storage) and install and configure software which is
functionally equivalent to DLNA or SMB/CIFS (a network file sharing protocol) client. Set the My Network selection to On in the Setup
Menu, press the HOME button on the remote to bring the Home Menu, select the Network icon and press ENTER button to show the
list of available servers. In some case, you might need to disable the firewall on the hardware to allow the UMT to see the server. The
UMT player can perform network sharing in one of the following three ways:
• As a digital media player (DMP): the player can actively search, access and pull content from local media servers which is functionally
equivalent to DLNA.
• As a digital media renderer (DMR): the player plays content received (“pushed”) from a digital media controller (DMC). A DMC-
capable media server is required. Refer to the server’s respective user instructions for correct configuration and operation.
• Accessing a SMB/CIFS client: the player can directly access files shared through SMB/CIFS clients over the network, as if accessing
an external USB hard drive. Most computers, especially those installed with Windows, already have an SMB client embedded. Please
refer to respective OS instructions to set up the SMB/CIFS shared file/folder.
