Just got off the phone with Vizio Support after I connected my New Vizio VBR135 3D Smart Blu-ray Player with Wireless Internet Application to my New Vizio 60" HDTV and my New Vizio Sound Bar and the sound works fine with the Player but there is no picture and GUESS what? Vizio does not produce any more DVD/Blu Ray players anymore and hasn't produced them for over a year now and if you buy one now the firmware is not compatible with the new Blu Ray or 3D formats, GO FIGURE. So I asked them why are there players out there on the market? They said that sellers are trying to off load them for quick cash and WE the purchasers will have to deal with the return/refund headaches if you can even get a refund. So I'm going to say this again "BUYERS BEWARE, DO NOT BUY A VIZIO DVD/BLU RAY/3D Player", Vizio does not produce them anymore. You have been warned.

To be very honest with you I do not think the mini-usb port in back of the projector is for an external hard drive. I have several HD'S and none of them have a mini-usb-cable. ON page 9 of the owner's manual all it shows is the mini-usb cable to a lap-top. The usb button on the remote is non-working. A better bet would be to hook your external hard drive to a BD player w/a usb port or get a Western Digital media Center and you could connect your HD to the Media Center, either way your movies will be going through the HDMI cable which should give you a better picture than a straight usb cable to the projector.

Yes it will work. If using an external hard drive, you may have to format to enfat

I have not used that drive, but I have used a Western Digital 3TB USB 3.0 drive with no problem at all. No problem playing any format video that I have come across with the player.

Hi Bruce, if your network hard-drive have a DLNA feature, yes you can play your vídeos e photos remotely. There a lot of APP with DLNA feature.

The usb slot is only for connecting usb flash drives to the unit. If the USB flash drive has media that can be read; i.e., a standard dvd structure, mpeg4s, mp3s, cds, or jpegs then the unit will play the media. Here is a link to the user's manual for more information: http://s3.amazonaws.com/szmanuals/11333ba7d45d5f0d5256a1e945fa457b

If your using the USB then yes, but I would recommend a NAS hard drive because it streams faster for video's than USB does. Hope this helps you.

It would. Make sure the proper drivers are installed. You should have the option to run video to the USB device via the system manager. Hope this helps.

So you can have an external drive? I don't see why not. There is a mini USB port on the player. It will play mp4's sequentially, the same with pics and music. It may have plug and play capabilities... TommyD

No, I don't think so. To save a specific video you need to copy it to an external USB drive .

No you can't, must be external HD using the USB port. The quality is poor, the software is poor, I bought one and try to update the software and after that the HD player is not working anymore, do not buy it try another one.

Yes, you can connect an external hard drive using one of two USB 2.0 ports (front or rear), and can then watch movies stored on the connected drive in any of the supported formats. If your external drive requires more power than one USB port can provide you may need to consider an externally powered drive like the WD MyBook or similar.

I have an external USB hard drive connected and it works fine. You can even play back files from the USB drive. I have a 1 TB external drive.
