Product: JVC THD60 HT System
Wanting: hook up an external hard drive of some kind to the front USB 2.0 port so i can have all of my movies at the touch of a button
issue: don't know which one to get; don't know how to hook one up; don't know if it is even possible
other thoughts: i tried hooking up my 500gb mybook to it but all that came up was my songs. also i watch movies on it all the time using a flash drive from my computer to it so it cant be the file formats. also i have read that the HDD needs to be in fat32 mode and the mybook is in fat32 and still only get the songs on it to play.
 
hey man
i have tried connecting external harddrive to my home theatre system USB port. all i got was crazy static which i then quickly disconnected my external harddrive. i think they only take flash memory. i think there may be a problem with the fact that external drives connect to a power source. but dont no how.. i was once reading about how connecting two computers via USB can fry the boards. so i dont think u can have external hard drives connected to ur hometheater. i may be wrong tho.
 
booklet

hey earshar, the instructions booklet to the JVC states this, and i quote:

"A USB flash memory device, hard disk drive, multimedia card reader, digital camera, etc. can be used with this system through a USB connection.
This system is compatible with USB 2.0.
This system cannot recognize a USB mass storage device whose ratings exceeds 5v /500 ma.
