Does the AV connectivity function allow me to connect to a device such
as a TV that only has video, photo and music playing functions?
The AV connectivity function basically enables connecting an AV device to
any device to which a USB memory device can be connected. However, the
AV connectivity device may be unable to connect to a device due to a power
or compatibility problem.
PLEASE NOTE When writing to a device (such as a USB memory device or
external HDD that is connected through the USB interface) is required for
some reason, the AV connectivity function does not work.
Since some AV systems have a timeout scheme for recognizing USB
devices, if recognizing a device is delayed, the process may time out
and the device may not be recognized. This may occur when the disc
contains a big file or a number of files.
My TV works as a Personal Video Recorder when an external-type HDD
is connected. Can I record data by connecting an external-type ODD to
the TV?
Since, at present, the AV connectivity function supports reading data only,
you cannot write data to the AV connectivity device.
I cannot play a video file on my TV.
First check if the connected TV supports playing video through a USB
interface.
If the TV supports this function, check if the video format is supported by the
TV.
The AV connectivity technology is only for recognizing the connected portable
ODD, not for automatically detecting the file format and playing the files on
the ODD. The function for detecting and playing files needs to be supported
by the TV or digital frame.
For supported video, photo and music file formats, refer to the user manual of
the device to be connected (e.g. the TV manual).
Can I watch commercial DVD titles on the TV by using the AV
connectivity function?
To play BD/DVD titles, you need a recorder that can decrypt the encoded
BD/DVD title. However, since most TVs do not support this function, you
cannot watch BD/DVD titles by using the AV connectivity function. To watch
BD/DVD titles, you have to use a BD/DVD player or BD/DVD playing software
that runs on a computer.
