Safety and Warnings

• Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse (e.g., twisting, kinking, pinching, closing in a door, or walking upon). Pay close attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
• The MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device; ensure it remains accessible after installation.

Connecting to the Network

Connect to a network to access online content and applications.

Setting a Wired Network

Connecting USB Devices

Connect a USB storage device (USB HDD, USB stick) to a USB port to enjoy content files on your TV.

• Tips for Using a USB Storage Device:
• Some devices with automatic recognition programs or custom drivers may not be recognized.
• USB extension cables may cause recognition issues.
• Use USB storage devices formatted with FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS file systems.
• Recommended: External USB HDD with ≤ 5V and ≤ 500mA. Use a USB hub or storage device with a power supply if needed.
• Recommended capacity: 32 GB for USB memory, 2 TB or less for USB hard disk.
• If a USB HDD with power-saving function doesn't work, turn it off and on again.
• Data on USB devices may be damaged; back up important files. Users are responsible for data management.

To remove a USB device safely, focus on the device in the Home Hub or Media Player and select the [Eject Button]. Disconnecting without ejecting may cause errors.

If a USB device uses an unsupported file system, a format message will appear. Formatting deletes all data and prepares the device for use. This can be done via Home Hub > Select USB > Format.
