Basic operation of the VP71XD
The VP71XD is pre-set to Repeat Mode, which will auto power on and auto loop any video, audio and/or photos loaded on the SD or USB
drive. Once you connect the player to a TV or monitor, simply load your video (SD card is loaded in player with sample les), audio and/or
photo les on the enclosed SD Card or USB drive and insert it into the player. The order in which the les are sorted on the card is the order
in which they play. Your player will start play and continue to auto loop until power is turned o.

SD / USB / Power
The VP71 is pre programmed to automatically pow-
er on and begin playing video from either the USB
port (1) or SD card slot (2). The VP71XD can only play
content from 1 RAM device at a time. It is not recom-
mend to insert both a USB and SD at the same time.
Changing SD cards and USB drives is as simple as re-
moving either RAM and inserting a new SD or USB.
The VP71XD will auto detect the new RAM and begin
playing the loaded content (no need to use the re-
mote or cycle power on the player when changing
RAM). When the VP71XD is on, the power LED (3) will
be illuminated Blue and illuminated Red, when o.

Connections
The VP71XD is capable out outputting video from ei-
ther Composite Video (4), HDMI (5) or VGA (6). Only 1
output can be used at a time and it is not recommend
to have other outputs connected when not in use.
The VP71XD is capable of outputting audio through
HDMI (5), R/L audio jacks (7) and digital audio (8)
while HDMI is being used (see audio settings). The I/O
port (9) is used for RS232 communication and con-
necting to our line of interactive solutions including
push buttons, motion, weight and wave sensors.

Settings - Play Mode (10)
The VP71XD has 4 play back modes which can be accessed
and changed by selecting the Settings option from the home
screen (11) or by pressing the Settings button on the remote.
Each mode has unique functionality and can be easily changed
for your specic application.
• Repeat Mode (12) - This mode will loop all content on either
the SD or USB card in alphabetical order. If your RAM in-
cludes videos & photos, the VP71XD will play all video les
rst and then play photo les.Your le list will automatically
play from the beginning when your SD or USB is inserted
and when the player powers up.
• Interactive trigger mode (instant & delayed) - These modes
would be used if you have an application that requires
interactive video triggering using a motion sensor, push
buttons, a wave sensor or weight platform. For example:
Lets say your application requires a looping video and 3
mechanical buttons that each play a specic video when
pressed. First you would load 4 video les on your SD or
USB card (13). These les would need to be labeled 000.
mov (14), 001.mov, 002.mov and 003.mov (or what ever
extension your video has.... mp4, avi, etc..). The video le
000.mov represents the video that will loop endlessly until
either button 1 (001.mov will play), 2 (002.mov will play) or
3 (003.mov will play) is pressed.
- Instant mode (15) will trigger a dierent video even if
the rst video has not nished playing. For example:
If 3 buttons are available and button 2 is pressed, vid-
eo 002.mov will begin playing. If button 3 is pressed,
then video 002.mov will stop and video 003.mov will
instantly play.
- Delayed mode (16) will ignore any additional button or
sensor triggers until the 1st video is nished playing.
For example: If 3 buttons are available and button 2 is
pressed, video 002.mov will begin playing, play once
and then begin looping the 000.mov video. If button
3 is pressed during video 002.mov, the VP71XD will ig-
nore all requests for a new video until the 1st selected
video is done playing.
• Scheduling mode (17) - This mode would be used if you
wish to play specic videos at dierent times of the day
and/or week. For example if you wanted to play a breakfast
menu from 8am to 11am, a lunch menu from 11am to 3pm
and a dinner menu from 3pm to 11pm you would use this
menu option. Once scheduling mode is selected you sim-
ply need to create a text le (18) with start and stop times
and load it on the same SD or USB as your video les (19).
A sample play list can be downloaded from our web site
or can be manually typed from the example on the right
(18). Notes: 1) The text le must be called playlist.txt 2)
None of the command text is case sensitive, only the video
le names are 3) Make sure the date and time are set cor-
rectly on the Date & Time settings section. In this example
the [NUMBER_OF_VIDEOS] (20) must equal the total num-
ber of videos loaded on your SD or USB. [MOVIE_AUTOFILE]
(21) will be your looping attract screen or default video. The
“breakfast menu.mov” will loop whenever no other start/
stop time is active. You can input an unlimited number of
stop and start times and the scheduler works o of a 7 day
calendar. Trigger playback on specic days by inputting the
[DAY_TO_PLAY]= as MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT (22)
SUN, otherwise enter ALL (every day). You can also set your
VP71XD to power on and o at specic times by using the
{POWERON] (23) and [POWEROFF]= commands.

Settings - Sound / Audio Output
The VP71XD is capable of outputting audio through either the HDMI (5) cable, the
red/white RCA jacks (7) or the black Digital Audio RCA jack (8). To change audio out-
puts, simply chose an option from the Sound menu (24) and choose R/L Audio RCAs
(25), HDMI (26) or Digital Audio RCA (27).
Settings - Sound / Volume
On the Sound menu you can adjust the output volume (28) of the VP71XD just as you
can with the volume and mute buttons on the remote control.
Settings - Sound / Pass Through
If you would like your audio signal from the VP71XD to travel through an intermedi-
ary component without alteration then turn on the Enable Pass Through option (29).
Settings - Display / Brightness, Contrast and Saturation
Brightness (30), contrast and saturation are all adjustable under the Display menu
option using the remote and the navigation buttons.
Settings - Display / Video Output
The VP71XD is capable of outputting Composite video (NTSC (United States Com-
posite Video Standard) (31) or PAL (European Composite Video Standard) (32), HMDI
(33) (480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720i, 720p, 1080i or 1080p) and VGA (34) (9 resolution
options).
The VP71XD will only output one video signal at a time and is typically shipped set
to HDMI 720p. You can switch the video output using the buttons on the top of the
remote. When these buttons are used the video output is switched to the default set-
ting. For example the HDMI button will activate the HDMI output at 720p. The VGA
button will activate the VGA output at 1280x1024 and the A/V button will change the
video output to composite NTSC video output.
Settings - Language (35)
Use the language settings option if you wish to change the settings menu language.
Available options are Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, French,
Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Turkish and Czech.
Settings - Date & Time
Date and time settings are only required if you using Scheduling Mode (17). Date
(35), time (36) and time zone (37) can be edited using the remote under the Date &
Time option (38). By default PST is selected. The VP71XD does not store the set date
and time for more then 1 day so it can not be preset. As of December 2015, rmware
updates are underway to add a Wi time sync option. This update should be available
by April 2016 and when requested, an SD card update will be sent to you at no charge.
When adjusting date and time make sure you set your time zone rst. Adjusting the

Video encoding tips
The VP71XD will play a majority of video and
audio codecs. The only limitation is the bit rate
of the le. The VP71XD is capable of playing
up to 100mbps. As a comparison a standard
DVD plays at 8mbps and a Blu-Ray DVD plays
at roughly 20mbps. Most customers are us-
ing video les well under 100mbps but if the
VP71XD is not playing properly, load the video
on any computer and play it. Every video pro-
gram should have an option for “Video Proper-
ties”. You can view the bit rate and determine if
it is within range. If the video is out of range, it
Trouble Shooting
• No image on TV - Start by determining if you are having a video le issue or an issue with the output by removing the SD and USB. If you
still do not have a picture, unplug the power to the VP71XD and make sure you only have 1 video output connected (either HDMI, Com-
posite or VGA). Follow this output cable to your TV and verify which input its connected to (some TVs have multiple inputs... Example:
HDMI1, HDMI 2 and HDMI 3). Make sure your TV is set on the correct input. Next plug the VP71XD back in. If you still do not have an im-
age after 10 seconds then press the corresponding video output button on your remote (HDMI / VGA / AV).
• Interactive option not working - Make sure the VP71XD is set to “Interactive” mode (either instant or delayed). Next verify that you only
have 1 RAM loaded (SD or USB...not both). Make sure your video les are labeled as shown on page 2 (13). If the video le does not have
an extension ( .mov .mp4 .avi ...etc) and/or does not have 000 001 002 before the extension the interactive portion will not trigger.
• Video is pausing or pixilated - Make sure the bit rate is under 100mbps. Make sure the audio codec is 16bits or less. Check to make sure
the frame rate is not 23.97. If any of these conditions apply the video may not play back properly and will need to be converted.
• Video scheduler is not playing videos at the set times - Make sure the play list is a text le and is called playlist.txt also make sure the
play list is on the same SD or USB that contains the videos you wish to play. Review the text le (18) (page 2) and make sure the video
le names match what is entered exactly (the video le names ARE case sensitive). Make sure the date and time are set correctly. If you
need additional help, please take screen shots/photos of the play list and SD/USB les names and email them to sales@videoteldigital.
