JBL CS3 - Manual (Page 28)

CS systems are among the first to allow direct playback of
compatible files from portable USB devices. Two USB On-the-Go
inputs are available, one on the right side of the product and one
on the rear panel.
Connect your USB thumb drive or portable hard disk to either of
the side or rear-panel USB Inputs
3G. If you have more than two
devices that you would like to connect at the same time, you can
use a standard USB-hub with an external power supply, to which
you can connect up to 16 portable USB devices.
1. Press the USB 1 or USB 2 0 buttons on the remote control to
turn the DVD receiver on. Also make sure that your video monitor
connected to the CS3/CS5 is switched on.
2. The TV monitor will show the below screen, allowing you to
select which of the file types available on the device you would
like to display and play. Showing different file types at the same
time (such as MP3 and JPEG) is possible.
3. Move the cursor to the buttons on the lower left side of the
screen, and press Enter 6 to select or deselect the requested
file types.
In case several USB devices are connected, all will be shown in
the same USB menu. To differentiate the drives, they will be shown
as 1 and 2. USB drives can have more than one partition. If that is
the case, the different partitions will be shown as 1a, 1b, 1c etc.
The USB menu contains the following settings or indications.
Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of
your screen to change the settings.
Disc: Shows the type of the disc.
Audio: Shows the audio track that is currently playing. Options are
shown on both menu lines on the bottom of the screen.
Playlist: Sets the order in which the current disc is played back.
Repeat: Sets the repeat mode. (Repeat 1, Repeat Folder).
Random: Activates Random Playback when possible.
Picture: Selects the interval between the current picture on the
screen and the next one.
In the USB menu, the chapter, track or picture currently playing will
be marked with an arrow symbol in front of the Track (MP3, WMA)
or Picture (JPEG). Tracks and pictures can be selected from this list
at any time by moving the cursor to the desired track or file and
pressing Enter
6 to confirm.
The top part of this screen can be deactivated to show the com-
plete Track list on the screen. To deactivate, move the cursor to the
upper INFO (or i INFO) submenu on the left side of the screen.
Press Enter
6 until the icon is highlighted in light blue and the full
Track list is visible on the screen. In the same way the Disc list can
be removed from the screen by deactivating the Program submenu.
When the CS3/CS5 is in Play mode, pressing the Play G button on
the remote control will highlight the track being played.
If you have a USB device that contains both music files (MP3,
WMA) and JPEG images, you can choose to run these simultane-
ously, mixing the MP3 or WMA audio with your own images. The
time interval can be chosen in the Picture Setting.
With such devices, you can also either listen to the MP3 or WMA
audio or watch the JPEG video files only. In order to do so, click in
Stop mode on the Music, Picture or Movie icons on the left part of
the screen to select or deselect the desired format.
NOTE: The CS3/CS5 will not play back any of the formats
SVCD/VCD, MPEG1 (Video), MPEG2 (Video) and audio CD tracks
(CDDA) stored on an external USB hard drive.
• You will need a FAT32 preformatted external hard disk drive with
USB connector. If your disk is formatted with another file system
(such as NTFS), you will need to reformat it. Please contact your
hard disk supplier for more information.
• We recommend creating folders and sort the files by file type
(movies, pictures or music). This will allow you to quickly find the
file you’re looking for.
