Tips for using USB storage devices
The TV recognizes only a USB storage
y
device.
If you connect a USB storage device to the
y
TV through a USB hub, your TV may not
recognize the USB storage device.
The TV may not recognize a USB storage
y
device that requires a special driver.
The recognition speed of a USB storage
y
device may differ depending on the device.
Only use a USB storage device which has
y
normal music or image files.
Use only USB storage devices that are for-
y
matted as a FAT 32 or NTFS file system.
You may need to connect a USB storage
y
device to an external power supply with a
power adapter.
If the TV does not recognize a connected
y
or
USB storage device, replace the cable and
try again. Do not use an excessively long
cable.
The TV does not support some USB storage
y
devices properly.
You can use a multi-partition (up to 4) USB
y
storage device.
You can use up to 4 USB storage devices at
y
a time by using a USB multi-card reader.
The file alignment method of a USB storage
y
device is similar to the one of Window XP.
You cannot create or delete a folder saved in
y
a USB storage device directly on the TV.
The number of characters for a file name is
y
up to 100 English characters.
Up to 1000 including folders and files can be
y
recognized.
If there are too many folders and files in one
y
folder, it may not operate properly.
The recommended capacity for a USB exter-
y
nal hard disk is 1 TB or less and for a USB
storage device is 32 GB or less.
If a USB external hard disk with the Energy
y
Saving feature does not work, turn the USB
external hard disk off and on again to make it
work properly. For more information, refer to
the user manual of the USB external hard disk.
USB storage devices below USB 2.0 are
y
supported as well. But they may not work
properly in the movie list.

y
