Can the USB port be used with external media like a USB SD card-reader, to play movies directly from an SD card?

It works as expected, so far. This equipment has not been used/tested long enough or enough number of times to provide a better review. I need at least one year from the date of purchase. Thank you. Al

Hi Claire, yes you definitely can. I use a 32 gb external USB to watch my movies all the time. You would need to buy a Micro USB adapter (goes for $1.95 or so) and plugs into the charging slot. I would recommend downloading MX Player to watch the movies. It is a free app but really amazing on how you can control your video. Also, people complain about getting to the Micro SD slot in the back where you have to pop off the small casing, however I found this to be easy if you use a small screw driver to pop it off then place it in. It is not hard at all. I have a 32 gb Micro SD slot in there. So instead of the measly 16 gb i have a total of 64 gb additional space it is awesome!! Hi Claire, yes you definitely can.

It does have a USB port for playing media from a USB drive, but both units died before I got to try it.

I haven't tried that. what exactly are you trying to do? I'm connecting a flash drive to watch movies from it and also access my documents.

The poster above is incorrect. The USB port can play any video file, provided it is the right audio codec, either AC3 or or MPEG-audio. All you have to do is find a converter. MP42MKVac3 is what I use. This program will convert any video file with AAC audio (which is unplayable on the USB port), to AC3 audio. Use MediaInfo to determine what audio codec the file uses. Good luck!

Yes, I also use it to watch Hulu plus, and movies on a usb port. You can also connect to Redbox, but I have not done that. I am happy with this purchase and would recommend it without hesitation

3 usb 2.0 ports. I have used an external usb dvd drive but not tried playing media. External hard drive works too, but have not tried media play on that either.

its a usb port so I certain it should play media I've never tried due to the amount of other options but if I were to guess I'd say yes....otherwise look up online or contact their customer support.

Yes it will play videos from USB. Not sure of the formats, but I think it plays the standards.

what I read in the manual states that you can have movies on a usb or sd card if you have movies on them and music the device will play audio then video. video also must be in mpeg1 or mpeg2 formats according the manual.

Yes you can play movies through the USB connection. In fact, you can connect a PC to the television and play them right from your PC.

There only certain formats that work when I use my USB harddraive to play movies. Try converting to from MP4 to AVI.

The USB port on this set is for attaching a camera or MP3 player to play through the TV. It will not work with video however.

Yes you can. Just put your SD card into the slot of the viewer, no problem.

Yes,it can read external usb hard disk, we have tested with the 1TB seagate hard disk, and also can play videos on disk directly. also it support RMVB, you can use "MX PLAYER" to play the RMVB video.

Of course you can play any AVI directly from an USB pen drive... works perfect!!!I only have a doubt, have anyone tried to play any AVI from a portable Hard disk (USB 2.0) ?
