2Safety & Precautions
▣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 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.
