Playing Files from USB Devices and Data Discs

Your BDS system can play MP3 (up to 320 kbps bitrate) audio files, FLAC tracks, display
JPEG photos and show MPEG 1 (layer 1), MPEG 2 (layers 2 and 3), WMA, WAV and DivX
Plus HD profile audio/video files stored on a USB device or a CD/DVD data disc.
To access files on a device inserted into the system's USB ports, press the Home button
and select Music, Photos, or Videos from the sources.
The screen will then show the device's file structure. Selecting a folder will show all files
of the selected type of media in the folder. If there are files of the selected type in the
device's root directory, they will also be shown.
To move up one directory level, press the Cursor Left button or select the arrow folder.
Playing Music Files
Music files can be played from connected USB drives, DLNA servers on your home
network, or inserted data discs (Blu-ray, DVD, or CD). From the Home Menu screen,
select Music. Select a folder containing music files and highlight a music file in the
folder.
Selecting a music file plays the file. If there are other music files in the folder that follow
the selected file, the system will play them in the order they appear on the on-screen
display.
If a selected MP3 file has an album cover-art ID3 tag, the art will be displayed on the
screen.
Use the Play, Pause, Stop, Prev/Step, Next/Step, Search Down/Slow and Search
Up/Slow buttons to control music-file playback. See Remote Control Functions, on
page 9, for more information about the functions of these buttons.
When the BDS system is playing music files from a USB device or CD data disc, the
Repeat and Options functions are slightly different from when they are playing Blu-ray
Disc recordings, DVDs and music CDs.
Pressing the Repeat button cycles through the following repeat modes: 1 (song), All

While playing music files from a USB device, you can also view photos that are on the
same media. Press the Home button while the music file is playing, navigate to a folder
containing photo files, and select a photo file to begin a slide show.
