I have a similar problem. When I first used it, it was OK but one day after a week or so, I've lost sound. When I put the volume of the TV to the maximum, I can hear it but it is still faint. Another problem/dissatisfaction I have is that the high resolution pictures are not displayed as good as my similar resolution PC monitor. I am dissapointed in that regard but I will still keep the device if I can fix the sound. I will call the tech support tomorrow.

    Here is what IOMEGA says:



    Why am I not receiving audio output?

    Question

    Why am I not receiving audio output?

    Answer


    Check the audio cable connection between the ScreenPlay Plus and the TV. The ScreenPlay Plus can be connected to right/left RCA connectors on the TV using the red and white connectors on the included composite cable. You can also connect the ScreenPlay Plus to an AV amplifier (receiver) using a coaxial audio cable (not included). If you are using a composite RCA connection, be sure you have connected to audio input on the TV set. If you are using an HDMI connection, it includes both video and audio.

    NOTE: Some TV sets are equipped with separate composite and component audio inputs. Be sure that you have connected the correct one.

    Check the Audio options on the Setup menu. If the ScreenPlay is connected to an AV amplifier using a coaxial cable, select the appropriate S/PDIF Output option for your equipment.

    Check the volume setting on the TV or AV amplifier. You will not be able to hear audio if the volume is too low. Try pressing the volume increase key on the ScreenPlay Plus remote control.

    Check the volume setting on the ScreenPlay Plus Setup menu. If it is set too low, you will not be able to adjust the volume properly using the TV volume control.

    The ScreenPlay Plus might be using the wrong audio channel. Press the AUDIO key on the remote control to select the correct audio channel.

    I fixed my sound problem by increasing the volume in the setup menue audio section. Our baby has been playing with it and I've never spent the time to figure out how to use the device.



    Good luck

Files not show/recognized when connected to the tv and movies not playing

Your movies have to be converted into .avi format. There are many websites to download video format conversions depending upon your PC's operating system. Once you have found the right software, you will have to attach your Ext HD, then open each movie & click 'Convert to AVI'. Once completed, you can delete the original. If you need more help come back to me.

Youtube is not working on iomega screen play director saying that"THE CONTENT YOU REQUESTED IS NOT FOUND"

April, 2010 - Iomega learned that YouTube made some changes to their programming APIs. Iomega uses YouTube's APIs, or programming interface, to interact with their service and their site. Until Iomega can learn more about the changes YouTube made, and re-program the ScreenPlay Director and TV Link Director to work with them, the online YouTube videos will be unavailable. Your device is working fine, but YouTube's service is temporarily unavailable.

Iomega Screenplay Pro HD - No Menu

I had the same problem with the Screenplay Pro HD. My Iomega was working fine and one day after exchanging files with a friend I got the logo, then the loading message and then it went into a black screen while the blue light kept blinking.
Obviously the connection to the TV was fine because the logo appeared.
I solved the problem by downloading and reinstalling the firmware.
I downloaded the firmware from the iomega web site.
Notice that during the installation process you get the message that it will delete your data and then shortly after you have the option to delete or keep it. Hang in there. This part is a little nerv wrecking.

Hope this helps.
