Can anyone tell what the USB port can and CANNOT do at the rear of my BDP-S360, more specifically can i connect a HDD via the USB to allow video/audio playback and view pictures

Thanks

Hi there,

It is not recommended to attach a hard drive to the rear USB socket. This socket is used for USB flash memory which is required when viewing BD Live features only.

Page 23 of your user manual mentions the following which should help to explain this further.

Do not connect anything other than a USB flash memory to the EXT slot.

• To avoid data corruption or damage to the external memory, turn the player off when inserting or removing the external memory.

• When the EXT indicator does not light up, turn the player off, remove and re-insert the external memory, then turn the player on again.

• Do not insert the external memory that contains photo or music files to avoid corrupting the external memory data.

• When re-formatting the USB flash memory, use FAT16 or FAT32 format

Can one of the forum moderators mark my reply above as the accepted solution please?

Many thanks!

Hi

Just to make it clear, you cannot play media files (photo/video/music) via the USB socket.  Its only used for the purpose of storage for BD-Live/BonusView content.

Cheers
