My 8gb wont open it say incorrect function and it does not allow me to format

Hi,

AS per the player's specification it can support WAV , MP3 , ADPCM , WMA formats. I highly doubt that it would play mp4. Check the specifications in the below link:

Before you loaded the hard drive, and USB did you run a "Check File System" through the TV? These devices in order to use the "Time Shift Function", have to have pass with "SUCCESS", displayed on the screen. If not the TV will format a 4GB FAT32 filing system for you. The reason your MP4's might not work might be due to a firmware update that no longer supports MP4. You should have been OK if you recorded the material from the TV. Items you record from the TV will not play on any other device. Using the FAT32 format only allows 4GB but, the TV allow 8GB and a external device can be FAT32 format to 8GB. 8GB is only 2 hours of viewing time. So that should give you some idea how little the amount of files can be handled.

hi, try to format the Pendrive and run scandisk command.
right click on pendrive > properties> choose format and when format is finish use check disk.

Why not backup your remaining data from the pendrive. Then reformat your pendrive using full format. If it still behave like that , your pendrive is already giving up.

THERE is sometimes some restrictions on the format you can inject in your player, (sometimes no wma, only mp3, and for sure, basicly) 128bps

I know it says to format the card in-camera but have you simply tried to use the card with the computer format? I have several 4 Gb cards for my camera (7D) and I have occasionally used the computer format without noticing any problems. Maybe you'll get lucky too.

download a software called mini tone and it will read it
