Using “USB media
player”
Function description
The [USB media player] displays still pictures and
motion pictures saved in a USB memory by inserting
the USB memory device into the display unit.
Note
● To use this function, set [USB media player] to
[Enable] in [Setup] - [USB media player settings]. (see
page 72)
● When using the “Single Media Player”, the unit
prevents a black screen from appearing at the
switching timing of still pictures or motion pictures.
Note the following restrictions.
(1) A black screen appears when switching a motion
picture codec.
(2) A black screen may appear or images may be
disturbed when switching to motion pictures of a
different frame rate or aspect ratio.
If an angle of view for something other than for
16:9 is used, images may be disturbed near the
end of playback.
Inserting a black screen (approx. 2 sec.) at the
switching timing for all the motion pictures can avoid
image disturbance in above (2).
