CD/DVD types of media written in UDF or ISO are supported. (except for DVD-RAM)

* not supported Blu-ray media

The ISO and UDF formats

To understand the ISO and UDF formats, you have to understand the concept of file

systems on storage devices.

Since ODDs only support the ISO and UDF file systems, the data needs to be converted

to a file system that the AV system can recognize for the data on the ODD to be used.

Note

AV System:

Supports the FAT32 file system.

File System:

When an HDD, DVD/CD media or flash memory device is

connected to a computer, Windows Explorer shows the file name, the size and

the creation date for the files saved on the storage device, by using the

information saved on the file system. In addition, the file system stores the

locations of the data that make up the files on the media.

ISO:

This file system is the most widely used file system for ODDs. This file

system is used when users save data onto a media in the ODD by using a disc

burning program such as NERO or ROXIO.

UDF:

This is a file system for ODD media that enables reading and writing data

onto the media such as when using an HDD or USB memory device.

For your reference, you can format a RW media in the UDF file system by right-

clicking over the media in Windows Explorer in Windows VISTA or later.

Is there a limit to the number or size of the files?

Up to 330 files are supported and files in the root directory and the sub directories just

below the root directory are recognized. The maximum size of a file is just under 4 GB.

There is no limit to the size of data saved onto a single disc.

In AV system support mode, it takes longer to recognize a disc.

It takes longer to recognize the discs as data on the ISO/UDF file system is converted to

the FAT32 file system for AV systems to recognize and transmit the data.

In addition, the time delay due to the conversion is determined by the number and size of

the files saved on the disc. (Approximately 30 seconds is required for 1GB of data.)

I have connected the ODD but there is no response.

Because the file system conversion takes longer, if you connect a high-capacity disc, the

connected device (such as TV) will require some time to recognize the Samsung external-

type ODD (1G = approximately 30 seconds).

Note

When recognizing the ODD, the LED of the ODD blinks continuously.

PCs, TVs, and other devices with insufficient USB bus power will not work

correctly if you use only one USB port.
