Has anyone figured out the purpose of the USB port on the back?

Some possible uses I can think of... if you have your presentation on a memory stick you can plug in to the projector. you might be able to use it to plug in a "presentation clicker" not sure on this put possibilities.

If you have a phone with HDMI out but not MHL, you can use the port to power up the HDMI adapter (I have done it with Samsung Galaxy devices).

Nope haven't used the USB port. Though it can be used for media and additional storage (NAS of sort)

The USB port is intended for a memory stick, not for charging, so do not expect much current.

There are 3 USB ports (2in back 1 in front), I have had multiple external hard drives connected.

yes, the usb ports work fine, it's the center port that is a problem. It's useless and makes the unit extremely large.

Yes, there is a USB port in the front on the right hand side behind the door.

Those connectors on the bottom are for phone or network connections. Where did you see pictures with usb ports?

Yes, that's what it is supposed to do, but I have not used it yet. I just got it and charged it. I bought it because it has a regular plug rather than just a USB port.

It's a very unusual type of USB port, it's neither Micro, Mini, nor Mini-B. This type of port was more common back when Palm Pilots were popular (that's what this design was originally made for).

Hi, It is indeed tricky and very ill conceived of the designers! Facing the tower, on the front, to the left, there is a little tallish door that opens up to reveal USB ports. At the bottom, under the USB ports, there is an almost invisible rectangular button....push it, this is the DVD opener. :) It might be easier if I kept my tower on the desk, but it is on the floor and I have to search for that darn button every time I need it! Good luck. :)

There is no USB port. There is a 1/4" diameter round "plug" on the top, which appears to be some type of access port; however, the instructions are silent about it, and my daughter, who is more tech-saavy than me, also doesn't know what it is, other than that it is not a USB port.

I'm not the seller, sorry. I'd suggest looking up some installation guides because it can be a little tricky I had to buy a powered USB hub when I got mine.

Am traveling. I do not believe there is a USB port. Will check manual when I get home.

There is a miniUSB to dual USB cord that comes with it, which uses the power from the PC. It's a little longer than I'd like it to be, so I suppose you can substitute a shorter one. Not sure what the dual USB end would be for...

No not that I'm aware of . The USB port is for adding additional external drive space such as a USB drive. Check with Buffalo to be sure

The USB port is for charging *other* devices, like your phone or iPad. You can do that while using the Bluetooth if your device runs low.
