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
y
formatted 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
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.
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.
If there are too many folders and files in one
y
folder, it may not operate properly.
The recommended capacity for a USB
y
external 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

disk.
