*There may be files with compatible formats that cannot be played. Check the following content.
• Change the resolution or frame rate.
⇒ Set the maximum resolution within the specified value. For information on the maximum resolution, read the "Operating Instructions".
• Convert to a different codec (video compression technology) and confirm.

When using a USB media player with a single media player (one display only), videos can be played without a scenario file.
However, the playback intervals of the still image files will play based on the settings, which can be viewed from the display's "SETUP" → "Slide show duration" from the "USB media player settings". For video files, the entire recording will be played.
When using it as a multimedia player, a scenario file or file list will be required.
For details, read the "Operating Instructions" (P.31-P.35) or the "USB Media Player User Guide".
