Mini USB port:
Use this port to access the internal Hard Drive only. Use Mini USB to Std USB cable. Connect to PC's
USB port and turn MV720p-HD power on. PC will see the MV720p-HD and assign a letter hard drive.
Use it to format the hard drive (NTFS format) and to copy and delete files in the Hard Drive.
SATA socket (built in internal socket only, no hard drive):
The MV720p-HD has a built in SATA socket for 2.5" laptop SATA hard drive, 5400 or 7200 rpm. The
SATA hard drive is not included. For new hard drive only, format it using NTFS before use. For heavy
duty application, use Solid State SATA hard drive.

Due to heat generated by the internal SATA laptop hard drive, place the MV720p-HD in an air
conditioned and well ventilated area. If possible, use solid state hard drive to minimize the heat.
Remote:
IR receiver for IR remote control. Use the IR remote control ("SEARCH" key) to adjust the resolution
output (from 480p to 1080i) and to test the input and adjust the MV720p-HD setting in manual mode.
Use the IR remote control to set the IR mode and auto time delay.
LED indicator:

  • Page 3 The new LCD projectors and PC Monitors have DVI input with HDCP. Look at the DVI input of monitor’s specification. The DVI input should read DVI(HDCP). The MV720p-HD HDMI output will work fine with this DVI(HDCP) input. Use SEARCH key of the IR remote to toggle the video resolution. USB2.0 port: Connect to USB Flash drive (thumb drive, Stick drive) and any other memory storage that use USB2.0 interface such as External Hard Drive (passport), Memory card reader etc.
  • Page 4 It will loop back instantly without black screen in between. To loop several files seamlessly, you have to join the files together and create a single file. To join the files, you can use DOS binary function OR use join utility software. Please contact Akman Inc for info. Example: Cat.ts...
  • Page 5 And here is how the MV720p-HD operates: After powering up, the MV720p-HD will loop the root files. After a set time delay, it will automatically play 80=xxx file and then return to play the root again. . After another time delay, it will automatically play 81=xxx file and then return to play the root again.
  • Page 6 PLAY VIDEO USING BUILT IN PUSH BUTTON: MV720p-HD has 3 built in digital input. They are configured as IN1, IN2 and IN4, lines 01 to 06 in the autoplay.txt. To play file(s) using push buttons you have to do the following items: 1.
  • Page 7 For inputs 1,2 and 4 you can use single pole push butto ns. For inputs 3,5 and 6, use double pole push buttons.
