Dune HD Smart D1: Connecting USB Drives

Connecting USB Drives

To connect a USB drive, ensure you are on the main screen of the player menu and connect the USB drive

to an USB port of the player. The player will recognize the USB drive, and will show an item corresponding

to the USB drive on the main screen.

When connecting a USB drive requiring signifi cant power (such as USB HDD), use an external power

supply for the USB drive. Power provided by the USB ports of the player may not be enough for correct

functioning of the USB drive.

Do not disconnect or switch off the USB drive when some write operation is in progress.

Using SD Memory Cards

To insert an SD memory card, ensure you are on the main screen of the player menu and insert the

memory card into the SD card slot of the player. The player will recognize the memory card, and will show

an item corresponding to the memory card on the main screen. Some SD memory cards may not be

recognized by the player or may work incorrectly; in such a case, use other models of SD memory cards.

Do not eject the SD memory card when some write operation is in progress.

Connecting eSATA Drives

To connect an eSATA drive, switch off both the player and the eSATA drive, connect the eSATA drive to the

eSATA port of the player (and connect the eSATA drive to its power supply), switch on the eSATA drive,

and, as the last step, switch on the player. The player will recognize the eSATA drive, and will show an item

corresponding to the eSATA drive on the main screen of the player menu.

Switch off and disconnect the eSATA drive only after switching off the player.

Using USB Slave Function

To connect the player with an installed internal HDD via USB slave, switch off the player, connect the

USB slave port of the player to the USB host port of the PC, and then switch on the player. The PC will

recognize a new USB device. After fi nishing working with the player in the PC, ensure the USB device is

correctly stopped in the PC («Safely remove hardware» or a similar function), switch off the player, and

then disconnect the USB slave port of the player from the USB host port of the PC.

Accessing Network Drives

To connect a network drive using SMB or NFS protocol, ensure you are on the main screen of the player menu,

press the "MENU" RC button, and choose "Create Network Folder", then fi ll the parameters of the network drive

as needed. The player will show an item corresponding to the confi gured network drive on the main screen.

To browse the list of network resources accessible via SMB or UPnP protocols, use "Network Browser"

item on the main screen of the player menu. NOTE: If some network resources are not shown by the

player, you may need to wait some minutes and then retry (or press the "MENU" RC button and choose

"Refresh" command).

Formatting HDD

To format a HDD attached to the player, select the drive item on the main screen of the player menu, press

the "INFO" RC button and choose "Format Disk" (to format the entire disk) or "Format Partition" (or to for-

mat an already existing disk partition only). The player will format the disk using "EXT2" fi lesystem. NOTE:

To use disks formatted by the player on a Windows PC, you may need to install additional software on the

PC, such as "EXT2FSD" (http://www.ext2fsd.com/).
