Chapter 6 Enjoying Multimedia
With the USB port you can enjoy digital content such as photos, music, and movies on your HDTV using
a USB flash drive connected to the USB port on the left-hand side of the TV.
USB drives that are USB 2.0 and FAT or FAT32 are supported but the Multi Media port does not support
hard drives or USB hubs.
If your USB drive is oversized and does not physically fit in the port, use a USB extension cable. Connect
one end of the cable to your USB drive and the other end to the USB port.
