Chapter 1: Safety & Precautions
1.2 Limitations and Usage Precautions
Please read the following Limitations and Usage Precautions before using your Mvix player.
◈While Mvix players support dozens of file formats and codec, they are not intended to work with every codec-variation.
Mvix players provide limited support to standardized versions of codec as stated in the Technical Specifications of this manual.
◈Turn off your Mvix player when connecting or disconnecting USB devices. Failure to do so may result in malfunction and/or loss of
data on your USB device.
◈We strongly recommend backing-up your data or media files stored on the Mvix-HDD. Power surge, HDD-failure, accidental deletions
are common causes of data loss. Place your Mvix player away from magnetic sources.
◈
◈
Mvix supports 3.5” Hard Disk Drives only. Kindly ensure that the jumper setting on your Hard-disk Drive (HDD) is set to MASTER or
SINGLE before installing it in the Mvix Player. Some HDDs (depending on the manufacturer) may work with the SLAVE or CABLE
SELECT (CS) jumper combination. If your PC fails to recognize Mvix as an external storage device, try changing the setting to SLAVE
or CS. Do not forget to format and partition your HDD after installing it in the Mvix player. “Primary Partition” is recommended when
creating two or more partitions within a single Hard Disk Drive.
◈When connected to the computer through the USB cable the Mvix player works like an external USB storage device (During this
operation, there is no video/audio playback). To resume playback mode, disconnect the USB cable connected to your PC and turn
on the Mvix player.
◈The network capability of the Mvix player is designed to work with Windows-based Operating System (OS) and its Network Sharing
capability. Depending on the OS and Network environment, Network-Sharing may not work reliably. This issue can be caused by a
variety of factors beyond the functionality of the Mvix player.
◈The supplied cables and accessories are recommended for customized best performance of the Mvix Media Player. Using any
other (after-market) cables or accessories may not provide best performance
◈In order to unplug your Mvix Media Player, press the STOP button before removing cables or turning off the power.
◈Do NOT open the unit and service or modify the basic assembly. Do NOT modify the firmware of the Mvix unit. Improper or
unauthorized repair will VOID your warranty coverage.
