Troubleshooting
• I cannot find the files in my disc’s directory.
1. In TV mode, this product supports only about 500 files with filenames fewer than 13 characters.
2. Files larger than 4GB will not be recognized.
The maximum numbers of files and directories that can be displayed may be limited by the file
name’s length, the numbers of files and directories.
• It takes too long to recognize my files when I insert a disc in TV mode.
1. This function requires converting the ISO/UDF file system typical for disc media to FAT32 which is
widely used in PCs. Therefore, it could take extra time to recognize your disc (it takes approximately
15 seconds per 1GB after inserting disc).
• If I insert a disc while in TV mode, the disc is not recognized.
1. This product is powered via USB from an A/V device. If the power of the A/V device is not sufficient
(less than 1.4A), it may not operate properly.
• After connecting to a TV, my videos/pictures/music cannot be played on their own.
1. This product is not designed to play media files on its own. The TV Connectivity function simply
allows you to connect an external Optical Disc Drive to a TV via a USB cable. Please refer to your
television’s owner’s manual to check whether video/pictures/music can be played on your TV.
You will also need to check whether your TV supports the files’ codec.
2. Televisions generally do not have a decoder to play DVD titles, so you cannot play DVD titles using
the TV connectivity function. Please use your PC or DVD player to play DVD titles.
3. Video/Audio CDs cannot be played through this function, as their media structure is different.
Use your PC or other players to play video CD and audio CD.
4. Damaged files may not be played, and there may be some restrictions in some functions during
playback.
5. Videos with a resolution higher than that of your TV may not be displayed properly.
Refer to your owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s website for a list of supported resolutions.
• Does this function allow me to write onto a writeable disc?
1. Our TV Connectivity function is Read-Only and therefore you cannot write.
• Normal operation is not guaranteed if you use a USB hub or unspecified USB extension cables.
• Due to compatibility issue of some AV devices and disc, may not work.
