External
Drives
If you are using a 2.5''
external hard drive,
please use the USB
cable that came with
your hard drive for
best performance.
Using Internal Drive
To insert the internal 3.5 inch SATA hard drive, please open the rack door, then insert the drive into the
internal case up to 3/4, then complete the installation by closing the door. This operation will complete
the installation of the disk in the rack. The media player is compatible with drives formatted in FAT16 or
FAT32 (read-write), EXT2/EXT3/EXT4 (read-write), NTFS (read-write), exFAT (read-write), HFS/HFS+
(Mac standard OS /Extended) (read-only), BTRFS (read-write). It is possible to format your hard drive
via Explorer via Menu > Format.

Large capacity drives
The media player only supports partitions up to 16TB. It also cannot format partitions larger than 16TB via
Explorer. To use hard drives larger than 16TB, use formatting software on your computer and format your
hard drive into 2 partitions. Each partition should not exceed 16TB. For a hard drive with a capacity of 32 TB,
please format your hard drive into two 16TB partitions.
Connecting USB Drives
Connect your USB drives to one of the available
USB ports. If you want to play video files, USB 2.0
is enough to support very high speeds (up to 300
Mbps). If you want to transfer files, we recommend
using USB 3.0 ports for faster transfers.
The power supplied by the USB ports may not be
enough to allow the external drive to function
properly; depending on the disk, especially for
large capacity disks. In this case, please use a
docking station.
Please do not disconnect or turn off the USB
external drive during writing operations such as
copying or transferring files.
External HDD
The player is compatible with UASP HDD
docking stations as well as USB hubs.
