Connecting an external hard disk drive
You can connect an external hard disk drive (USB storage) to the EXT port on the rear panel of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER. The music files transferred from your computer to the external hard disk drive can be played in the same way as music files stored in the internal hard disk drive of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER.
Note
- Compatible with USB 2.0.
- Be sure to connect or disconnect the external hard disk drive (USB storage) only when the HDD AUDIO PLAYER is in the standby mode.
- The HDD AUDIO PLAYER registers content stored in the external hard disk drive to the database in the HDD AUDIO PLAYER. If there is insufficient database capacity, you cannot transfer any more music file or scan the content of a newly connected external hard disk drive. In this case, delete unnecessary music files and perform the Rescan HDD function. If this does not solve the problem, perform the Factory Reset function or the Clear Database function, connect an external hard disk drive, and then rescan the external hard disk drive.
- Only the external hard disk drive that is currently connected can be used at the same time as the internal hard disk drive.
- The HDD AUDIO PLAYER is compatible with the ext4 and FAT file systems. External hard disk drives with other file systems need to be formatted by selecting the formatting function from the menu of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER. Please note that the content of the external hard disk drive is deleted when formatting.
- You cannot use an external hard disk drive (USB storage) formatted by the HDD AUDIO PLAYER with other devices such as a computer, because the external hard disk drive is formatted only for the HDD AUDIO PLAYER. To use the external hard disk drive with other devices format it using the device you want to use it with. Please note that any music files on the external hard disk drive are deleted when the hard disk drive is deleted.
- If an external hard disk drive is connected during playback, the playback stops.
- You cannot simultaneously use multiple external hard disks connected with a USB hub.
