Tr o u b l e s h o o t i n g  (c o n t i n u e d )
The contents of the USB fl ash 
drive cannot be read.
Slow operation of the USB 
fl ash drive.
 –  The USB fl ash drive format is not compatible with this 
unit.

English
Why does it take so long to display the 
contents on my USB device?
–  This could be due to the large numbers 
of fi les (>500 fi les/folders) or size of the 
fi les (>1MB).
–  There could be other non-supported fi les 
in the device that this unit is trying to 
read/display.
What if un-supported devices (e.g. USB 
mouse, keyboards) are plugged into 
this unit?
The device may cause this unit to be 
unstable. Remove the unsupported device 
and unplug the mains cord. Wait for a few 
minutes before reconnecting the mains cord 
and power on this unit again.
What happens when I plug in a USB 
HDD?
HDD is not supported as the large storage 
capacity makes navigation very diffi cult.  
Transfer the music fi les (mp3) and photos 
(jpg) into a fl ash drive.
Why does this unit fail to detect my 
USB portable music player?
The portable music player may require 
propriety software that is bundled with our 
system in order to access the contents (eg. 
playlist).  MTP class not supported, only can 
support mass storage class devices.
What types of fi le does this unit  
support?
We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not 
NTFS.Why does the fi le name appear to be 
different from what was displayed on my 
computer (e.g. from ‘Good Bye. jpg’ to 
‘Good_B~1.jpg’)?
–  The length of the fi le name is restricted 
by the fi le system of the device (FAT16), 
which only supports eight (8) characters.
–  The computer may be able to display the 
full fi le name as the operating system can 
convert the fi le system.
Is simultaneous USB and Disc playback 
possible?
This is not possible due to memory 
limitation. In addition, a different user 
interface will be needed in order to function 
and in order to be simple enough to use.
Why can’t I rotate the pictures in my 
device?
In order to rotate the pictures in the USB 
device, the picture must contain EXIF 
information, stored by most digital cameras.  
This EXIF information may have been 
removed when you edit or copy the picture 
from other devices using editing 
programmes.
Why can’t this unit play some of my 
music fi les, photos or movies?
The music fi les may not be playable because 
of different formats and encoding bit-rates.  
Similarly, the photos may be of low 
resolution or too high resolution for this unit 
to support.
