You do not need anything special to be able to play media stored on a portable, external hard drive. The only thing you must do is make sure that your media is in a format that is compatible with this receiver.

Yes you can, you will require original pioneer brand media cable or adapter .

I've tried a few different video file formats, including some MP4, and it's played them fine from a USB thumb drive. Since the screen itself isn't HD, I haven't tried any HD files in there, but I can verify that up to DVD quality resolution it plays media files just fine.

I had that issue and converted the movie to mp4 with db converter and fixed the problem but from changing hard drives all the time the usb port broke off I am having issues with a different brand as well so they are not very hardy is what I have found was thinking of trying the chrome cast but that's later tired of these devises braking and don't want to power the tv and the computer to watch movies.

Yes. You can play stored movie files directly from the sd card or transfer it to the internal memory. I would keep it on the sd card, though.

No it cannot. It is not a dvd player. You can only play media files from an USB external hard drive or internal sata hard.

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.

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

I have never tried to play movies/videos flash drive via usb port; so, I don't know if it can. I recommend looking at Samsung's website for the television specs & allowable inputs.

I am not very technical, so I am going to try the flash disk, but the information booklet says you can use an external USB drive or hard drive in PVR file format.

Yes, most external optical drives are USB driven, it's as simple as plugging it in and downloading any needed software.

I have a WD external hard drive that I use to play movies/music on my sony blu-ray player.

I don't think the projector has built in media playing software. I have my projector hooked up to my PC via hdmi cable. I don't think there's a way to directly play media from an external hard drive though.

Yes, you can connect an external hard drive. It plays many types of media formats, mkv, avi, mp4, wmv, flv. though it isn't the greatest for flv. It does not have a netflix app.

I try to hook mine up to ex- hard drive via USB and it did not play/or read any of the files.

Haven't really used it for music, but I do play movies off of my usb flash drive. I assume you can play music the same way. In fact will try tomorrow and update response.

Yes Harriet. As long as you have a television with USB ports you can do so. I watch movies I Watch movies in this way all the time on my Samsung tv. It is very convenient. Plug in the External drive and when it appears choose the video folder and your movies and shows will appear. Choose one, press enter on TV remote and you are go to go. Cheers
