What does the USB do? Can I put a thumb drive in it and play stills or video? Or mp3? Lil help? ' Mike

I don't know as I have never tried it and it is in a place that would be hard to try now but the book says it is to hook to a computer so it sounds like it would probably work. Good luck!

I haven't used the USB but I have used a 16GB SD card with this. I usually just connect my Sandisk Sansa Clip Zip+ MP3 player to this and use it this way.

Yes, you can play music from a USB stick. I've played mp3s from my 8GB Crucial Gizmo. I also tried playing music from a portable (2.5") external hard drive, but the stereo usb port didn't have enough juice to power the hdd.

What have you tried for transfering the photos? I've never had a problem loading pictures with my USB, as well as by simply loading my memory stick into an sd converter. I'm really not sure I'll be able to answer if those two options do not work.

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

No.. It only plays videos from DVD... USB will allow pics to be shown an screen captured.... Nice unit but limited

Hi D. Clemens... I didn't see a response to this, so I just wanted to give some assistance. The instruction manual on page 45 states that you can run pictures and music from any USB device. I did see some comment that the Zune MP3 player wasn't supported. Thanks,

The unit comes with a tiny 8 GB USB drive. You can transfer your files to that and then install the drive in the digital picture frame. You can also use another USB drive if you prefer a larger size/format drive. Make a folder in your computer for all your jpeg stills, or various video formats (see manual), then select all and copy/paste the files (not the folder) to the USB drive that will be installed into the picture frame. The manual is simple and easily understood as far as options for video and audio. Stills will have to be jpegs. This is probably not the only way to achieve your goal, but this works for me. Hope this helps.

Yes pretty much anything USB or SD will work. However I tried hooking up my external hard drive and it took so long to load I gave up. Although my HD is like 400gb so that's most likely why. But I've never had issues putting like 20 movies on a flash drive and playing them. Watch out for the file type tho, MKV files won't work

Does anyone know if you can play avi files (divx, xvid) from a USB thumb drive plugged into the front? The description just lists photos for the USB drive.

Yes, you can put a flash drive into the usb port and it will play the music stored on it. Be advised that this unit does not come with and is not capable of being controlled by a remote since it has no IR sensor. I returned my unit and bought the Panasonic RX-D55GC-K which is more expensive but has a remote and is in my opinion, a better unit.

Manual says it plays MP3s and shows still pictures. Only works with Fat up to Fat32 flash drives, not external Hard drives.

I simply connect it to my PC via the USB cable, and it appears as a drive in Windows Explorer. You can drag and drop .MP3's to the device in this manner. I agree with ChefBum, the interface on this unit is clunky, but I love what it's capable of. I may have to check out the GB-10 myself!

Depends on if the player can play content from the connected USB device. Do a simple test on any thumb drive you have. Load a file or two on it and plug it in. You can also check the player "Supported" file types. It should really specify if it can (or cannot) play USB content... This drive is generic, the effect would be the same on any USB storage device. If your Sony player can't play USB content it does not matter WHAT device you got, it is not going to play... Best of luck! Also mention what model player you have (or want to get) someone might know specific to that device (they are all different). I have a Sony player and could not tell you if it does (or does not) play from the USB connection (never tried)

You can attach a flash drive or anything with a USB plug, however I am not sure if the player will read all types of media. I have not tried to play anything a USB.

you need to use a flash drive (I've used my Sandisk Cruzer and it works fine) connected to the USB port to play mp3s (I believe you can view pictures in jpeg from a flash drive too). Make sure you're using the correct type of SD card to view jpeg pictures. Also, the TV doesn't support .avi files. Look in the TV manual to find the correct settings to view or listen to files...it's not automatic.
