an electric shock.
The machine does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. Please leave
all maintenance work to quali ed

reached easily.
Space for ventilation
– Place the apparatus in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent
internal heat build up. Allow at least
10 cm (4.0”) clearance from the rear

Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
– Do not place any sources of danger
on the apparatus (such as liquid lled

Why does it take so long to display the
contents on my USB device?
– This could be due to the large numbers
of les (>500 les/folders) or size of the
les (>1MB.)
– There could be other non-supported les
in the device that the system is trying to
read/display.
What if un-supported devices (e.g. USB
mouse, keyboards) are plugged into
the player?
– The device may cause the player 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 the player
again.
What happens when I plug in a USB
HDD?
– HDD is not supported as the large
storage capacity makes navigation very
dif cult. Transfer the music les (mp3)
and photos (jpg) into a ash drive.
Why does the system fail to detect my
USB portable music player?
– The portable music player may require
propriety software that is bundled with
our player in order to access the
contents (eg. playlist.)
Why can’t some devices be playback
from USB Port on my player?
– USB Port only offer 500mA current,
could not power up HDD players which
require more current.
– Device which shows USB Mass Storage
Device might actually be USB Hub when
detect in USB analyser.
– Devices in NTFS format can’t be
supported.
– Devices require drivers to be installed
will not supported by this player. They
are not UMS or MTP devices, which does
not require any driver installation or start
up disc. When in UMS or MTP mode, the
device is treated as an external HDD or
portable device.
What types of le does the player
support?
– We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not
NTFS.
Why does the 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 le name is restricted
by the le system of the device (FAT16),
which only supports eight (8) characters.
– The computer may be able to display the
full le name as the operating system can
convert the 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 programs.
Why can’t the player play some of my
music les, photos or movies?
– The music 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
the player to support.

DivX
®
3.11/4.x/5.x/6.0: The DivX
®
codec is a
patent-pending, MPEG-4 based video compression
technology, developed by DivX
®
Networks, Inc.,
that can shrink digital video to sizes small enough
to be transported over the internet, while
maintaining high visual quality.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to
six channels of digital audio (front left and right,
surround left and right, center and subwoofer).
JPEG: A very common digital still picture format.
A still-picture data compression system proposed

features small decrease in image quality in spite of
its high compression ratio.
MP3: A le format with a sound data

Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1)
Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or
CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data
volume as a regular CD can.
Parental Control: A function of the DVD to
limit playback of the disc by the age of the users
according to the limitation level in each country.
The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is
activated, playback will be prohibited if the
software’s level is higher than the user-set level.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system for
converting analog sound signal to digital signal for
later processing, with no data compression used in
conversion.
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on
