front screen.
. Devices connected to the USB connec-
tion port for the front display cannot be
played on the rear displays.

could slow down the operation speed.
This is not a malfunction.
. The operation speed of the system could
slow down when the left and right
displays play different files from the
same device connected to the USB
connection port. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
. Images from devices connected to the
USB connection port may not be dis-
played in an adequate ratio depending on
the resolution. To correct the ratio,
adjust the aspect using the remote controller.
