2. Browsing and Organizing Media

The Ultimate HD Media Player can access media from CIFS (Windows file shares), Samba,

NFS, and DLNA/UPNP. NFS (available on most NAS type devices) typically offers the best

performance, followed by CIFS/SMB. Note that to access DVD media, or to play media with

associated external subtitles, use NFS/CIFS/Samba, not DLNA/UPNP.

For information about supported media file formats, see Supported Digital Media File

Formats on page 65.

CAUTION:

Displaying static images can cause burn-in on certain displays. Do not

display static images (such as menus, photos, or paused videos)

onscreen for long periods of time.

Media on Your Portable Media Player (USB Device)

You can connect up to two USB flash drives or a media player such as an iPod to a USB port

on the front or rear panel of the Ultimate HD Media Player. The Ultimate HD Media Player

plays files stored in Windows (FAT, FAT32, NTFS), Macintosh, or Linux disk formats. It does

not matter if you set up the media player on a PC or a Mac.

Note: Be sure to use USB 2.0 devices with your Ultimate HD Media

Player. The limited bandwidth of the older USB1.0 devices might

interfere with the performance of your playback.

To play media:

1. Connect your USB product to the USB port on the front or rear of the Ultimate HD

Media Player.

The Ultimate HD Media Player scans the media, and then the media files are available

for you to play.

2. Press Video, Music, or Photos on the remote control, and then select and play the media.
