5.2 Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1. Why is the Torrent Option in the Player not working?

Answer:

The torrent client (Transmission) requires available storage space on an attached USB

storage device such as a ﬂash drive or an external HDD device.

Question 2. Why can’t I see my network workgroup and/or other PC’s on the net-

work?

Answer:

Make sure you have your player properly connected to your network and put the

right settings in the Setup menu under ‘Network’. Check if the player has a correct IP

address (e.g. 192.168.1.5). Also control your settings on the computer and eventually

disable your Windows / Router ﬁrewall, or set it up correctly to allow the player to

connect to your network. Alternatively you can setup a Shortcut (see 3.5.2.2).

Question 3. I want to use USB sticks and/or external USB HDD’s – how do I con-

nect and remove them properly?

Answer:

It is recommend to use only external USB HDD’s that have their own power supply!

Connect the USB HDD / stick to one of the USB Host Ports in the player and press

the power button to start the player. If you are done please use the ‘Eject’ button

on the remote control or alternatively the ‘Delete’ button on an attached keyboard,

to safely remove the USB drive before turning the player o! The ﬁle system on the

HDD’s or USB sticks might get corrupted when not using safe removal.

Question 4. My ﬁles have disappeared from the players USB devices.

Answer:

Make sure that you browse your ﬁles via the correct browser mode which means

correct ﬁltered views such as Photos, Music, or Movies.

Question 5. During power on, why does the TV have a short ﬂashing, blue screen

or screensaver?

Answer:

This is normal, when the system initializes, it will setup the corresponding parameters

so it can output the correct video signal to the TV, during the initializing time, the TV

will receive incorrect signals or the signals will not be stable and will cause the TV

screen to ﬂash, some TV’s will treat this as no signal, and will display a blue screen or

screensaver.

Appendixes |

| Upgrading the Firmware

Question 6. Why is my subtitle that is auto searched by the player not in sync with

my video?

Answer:

The player queries a third party subtitle hosting website and provides you with results

that are available for your video title. Please make sure that you have selected the

correct subtitles that matches the same frame rates as your video ﬁle. For example if

your video framerate is 23.976fps, this will get out of sync if you have selected subti-

tles that are not of the same framerate.

Question7. Why I can’t ﬁnd my USB drive in ﬁle manager?

Answer:

Try to replace a short USB cable or plug in the power cable to your USB drive. You

are suggested to plug in one USB drive at the same time.

Question 8. Where can I register the product I purchased?

Answer:

You can register your product online, please go to
