8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your media player, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

No Power

• Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the player and a working wall outlet.
• Verify that the power outlet is functional.
• Press the power button on the device or remote control.

No Video or Audio Output

• Check all cable connections (HDMI, AV, VGA) between the player and your display device.
• Ensure your television or monitor is set to the correct input source (e.g., HDMI 1, AV, VGA).
• If using AV, ensure all three RCA connectors (red, white, yellow) are connected to their corresponding ports.
• If using VGA, ensure separate audio connections are made if audio is desired.
• Check the volume level on both the media player and your display device.

External Storage Device Not Recognized

• Ensure the USB drive or SD card is properly inserted into its respective slot.
• Try connecting a different USB drive or SD card to rule out an issue with the storage device itself.
• For external hard drives, ensure they are formatted to FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS.
• If an external hard drive requires external power, ensure it is connected to its own power source. Some hard drives may draw too much power for the player's USB port alone.
• Restart the media player and try reconnecting the storage device.

Remote Control Not Working

• Ensure 2 AAA batteries are correctly inserted into the remote control. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Point the remote control directly at the front of the media player.
• Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the player.

Playback Issues (Jerky Video, Unsupported Format)

• Verify that the media file format is listed under the "Supported Media Formats" section (Section 6.4).
• Ensure the video bitrate is not excessively high, as this can cause choppy playback on some files.
• Try playing the file on another device to confirm the file itself is not corrupted.
• Ensure the external storage device is not faulty or too slow.
