Important Notes:
• Via USB only the following files can be listed
and played: MP3 or WMA music, JPEG pictures,
DivX or XviD movie files. Normal MPEG2
movies, MPEG1, VCD/SVCD or MJPEG movie
files will not be played.
• Only FAT32 formated Hard Drives can be con-
nected to USB. When your HD is preformatted
with NTFS, it must be re-formated with FAT32
before any files are stored onto it. Note that
the FORMAT-function of Windows XP can cre-
ate FAT32-partitions with max. 32 GB only.
To use a bigger HD with FAT32, specific tools
are needed (e.g. Norton Partition Magic or
Acronis Partition Expert). Please ask your
Dealer to get more information about those
specific programs.
• With USB as source, programming and random
functions are not available.
In case several USB devices are connected, all
will be shown in the same USB Menu. To differ-
entiate the drives, they will be shown as 1 and 2.
USB drives can have more than one partition. If
that is the case, the different partitions will be
shown as 1a, 1b, 1c etc.
The USB Menu contains the following settings.
Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line
on the bottom of your screen to change the set-
tings.
Audio: Shows the audio track that is currently
playing. Options are shown on both Menu Lines
on the bottom of the screen.
Playlist: Fixed to Discs's Order (programming
not possible with USB).
Repeat: Sets the repeat mode.
(Repeat All, Repeat Folder).
Random: Fixed to Off, Random play not possible
with USB.

picture on the screen and the next one.
In the USB Menu, the chapter, track or picture
currently playing will be marked with an arrow

You will be able to use the THUMBNAIL function
to quickly and easily search for image files. Any
JPEG image file that has been created on the

show up on the right top of the screen when
scrolling though the contents list. The Thumbnail
function can be activated by moving the cursor to
the Thumbnail icon on the left and pressing
ENTER

When the DVD receiver is in play mode, pressing

If you have a USB device that contains both
music files (MP3, WMA) and JPEG images, you
can choose to run these simultaneously, mixing
the MP3 or WMA audio with your own images.
The time interval can be chosen in the Picture
Setting.
With such devices, you can also either listen to

only. In order to do so, click in stop mode on the
