No idea. It's in storage. We haven't hooked it up. I suggest downloading the manual from the internet.

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want)

Yes, it will play from a Fat32 formatted 8GB(max) usb drive stick, with standard mp3's(it will support at max a 256bitrate mp3)

Simple answer: No. The unit does not have 1) hard disk reading software/hardware (those are complex and built into computer operating systems) nor, 2) a movie decoder built into it. It will play a few audio formats (MP3, AAC, M4A), however, from thumb drives, but it does NOT play ANY VIDEO from sources connected to its USB ports.

Hello. This unit will play .AVI video on the front LCD from either a DVD, USB flashdrive, or an SD card.

It may, but the speed constraints of USB1.1 will mean the playback would be choppy, with audio and video out of sync. I can't even get a Divx encoded file to play from a USB drive without some amount of glitches.

It can play MKV files of any size (supports FAT32 & NTFS). Don't think it's region free...

I have played MP4 files on it but not divix.The one I received was a return so I have had problems with it.... I personally do not recommend it unless you really need it for a specific reason. Your better off using a laptop or save up and get a cheap netbook with hdmi out

If it won't play DIVX files.....Download a program called "FourC Codec Changer" from the web.. Install the program and open. Next open the DIVX file you want to play in the program. In the "four cc description" box it will show the DIVX codec. Next in the "Four cc Used box" change that to .xvid. Now choose "apply" and exit.....Now it will play when you put it back in the USB port!

While i have not tried to play AVI or MP4 files through the USB, i don't think the TV will act a media player - the user's manual indicates traditional image and music files are supported, no mention of video files being suppported for playback.

I can play video and music directly using the HDMI connection to the TV. I can't say about any specific format. The MKV files I used run just fine.

It depends on the encoding of the .avi file, but in general it does play .avi files. Avi files encoded using DivX will definitely work, others are hit or miss.

No. The only thing you can choose is the video format... 1080 or 720, and some other video quality features.

The manual says it will not play DivX (or MP3 or WMA). I don't know about the other formats.
