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, 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 file system. 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.
If an external hard disk drive is connected during playback, the playback stops.
USB hubs cannot be used.
Connect an external hard disk drive to the EXT port on the rear panel of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER as
shown below.
