11. Use the

Screen Color option to specify what screen color the player should display after it has successfully

completed the setup process. When the player displays this color, it is ready to receive content.

allows you to play media files that are 4GB or larger in size, but the player will not be able to receive network
updates or generate logs.

powered by PoE).
