USB HDD Fail!

[VendeeChris]

Hello I am trying to register a USB flash drive to the TV to record but it keeps saying "fail" after a few seconds initialising - help anyone?

Hi there

May I ask what model TV you have?

Cheers

Hello and thanks for responding! The TV is a Bravia KDL 22EX553 which we bought for the kitchen and had hoped to be able to use the timeslip on it but as I say, it refuses to recognise the USB flash drive. I ordered a 64Gb one especially!

Hi there

Just looking at the manual for your TV

http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/AE7S100811/ENG/c_usbrec_europe_set.html

USB drive must be between 32GB - 2TB = Check

Even though it doesnt say, the drive must be formatted to FAT32 first. So check that on your PC/laptop.

I cannot 100PERCENTAGESIGN confirm that USB Flash drives are supported. Everything refers to Hard Disk Drives (HDD). I doubt it should make any difference to be honest (as you cant find a 32GB HDD as the specs would suggest anyhow), If the drive is between the sizes and formatted to FAT32, the drive should then register.

Anyway, first thing to do, is check/convert the USB drive to FAT32

Hope that helps.
