Introduction
The name of folders and files defines the rules of the playback. Folders and files must be named and
copied according to specific rules that are described further. This behaviour applies to all types of media
(audio, video, web and pictures).
7.1. Autoplay
Create a folder named 000 on your removable content support. Copy inside that folder your media such
as videos, pictures, audio files. Insert your support in the player. Power on the player. Media files copied
in folder 000 are randomly read.
Folder 000 is read by default when powering on the player. At power on, player checks if folder 000 is
present. If so, it starts playing the files contained in this folder. If not, the player goes into state "STOP".
If you want to loop on folder 000, just add the tag [LOOP] to the name of the folder. If you want to read
files sequentially, give a number a the beginning of each filename and add a tag [SEQ] to the name of
the folder. (more details on tags below).
Folders LOST.DIR et SYSTEM and file .nomedia are added by the player on the support at the fisrt
playback. Do not copy your media in these folders.
7.2. Using input contact of your player VP320
The input contact can be configured in the menu. By default, input contact will trigger folder 001.
