Tips
- Photo files must be stored in a folder under the DCIM folder for automatic playback start. Also, the folder name under the DCIM folder is required to be a combination of 3 numerals and 5 letters (can include “_”), for example, 101MSDCF.
- If there is a subtitle file in the USB, you can watch a programme with subtitles. In that case, the subtitle file should be in the same folder, and with the same name as the movie file.
(Depending on the subtitle file, subtitles may not be displayed correctly even if the format is supported.)
