Using Storage Devices
Chapter 4
To connect a USB drive, ensure you are on the main screen of the player menu and connect
the USB drive to an USB port of the player. The player will recognize the USB drive, and will
show an item corresponding to the USB drive on the main screen.
 When connecting a USB drive requiring significant power (such as USB HDD), use an ex-
ternal power supply for the USB drive. Power provided by the USB ports of the player may not
be enough for correct functioning of the USB drive.
 Do not disconnect or switch off the USB drive when some write operation is in progress.
To connect an eSATA drive, switch off both the player and the eSATA drive, connect the eSATA
drive to the eSATA port of the player (and connect the eSATA drive to its power supply), switch
on the eSATA drive, and, as the last step, switch on the player. The player will recognize the
eSATA drive, and will show an item corresponding to the eSATA drive on the main screen of
the player menu.
 Switch off and disconnect the eSATA drive only after switching off the player.
 NOTE: Depending on a particular eSATA drive, it may also be possible to connect/discon-
nect the eSATA drive to the player w/o switching off the player. This possibility is not guaran-
teed to work correctly in all cases.
 NOTE: Not all eSATA drives may work well with the player (may depend on a particular
eSATA drive model and particular usage conditions). The eSATA port is provided for extended
flexibility, but without a guarantee that an arbitrary eSATA drive will work well. It is recom-
mended to test a particular eSATA drive before making a decision on its usage with the player,
and use only those eSATA drives which are known to work well with the player.
When an internal 3.5" SATA HDD is installed, the player shows an item corresponding to this
HDD on the main screen of the player menu.
 To ensure correct operation, it is recommended to completely power off the player (using
the front panel power switch) before installing or removing the internal 3.5" SATA HDD.
