I've used a 4GB Patriot flash drive (cost about $10) that works fine on my 46xbr6. That particular drive is formatted FAT32. A 1GB Sony flash drive that came with a Blu-Ray player is formatted FAT, so I'd guess virtually any usb flash drive will probably work.The 46xbr6 photo viewing feature works great, even for deeply nested file systems (folders within folders - - -). I've selectively browsed photos from a file system containing hundreds of folders & thousands of jpeg files.It's strange that Amazon's comparative descriptions of the over & under 40" versions of XBR6 ignore the absence of usb in the smaller series, ignoring the fact that it's a MAJOR feature.

I bought the same unit.........and confused what cable to get. I am hooking this up to a Sony Bravia HDTV 720P .......I want the capability to record in HD, and not sure what HDMI cable to get with all the price differences.......DId anyone tell you which one to get?

No, because most USB port in TV is only for input such as pictures stored on a flash drive. TV itself must support Bluetooth profiles such as A2DP/AVRCP and most of them don't.

I use a 16gb flash drive but I always use random play--sometimes it freezes when loading--but if I switch to cd then back to usb-it seems to always work fine. I've had no problems with sony or Philips mp3 devices--just seems to lock up when first reading flash drives--it is a little slow at reading files before it begins playing--I'd say about a minute delay-not a problem. Display information depends on what is available on flash drive--ir title artist album are provided it will display them--though you have to turn on the display by using the remote 'display" button or it just gives numeric info

I use it on a 7" TV works great. It has a cable TV plug on it. Not a USB . It also has to be plugged into an electric outlet. Hope this helps.

Hi there, unfortunately it appears that most TVs don't recognize USB adapters unless the manual says that it does. I actually tried it on my Samsung TV and it didn't recognize the dongle at all. The USB port on your TV is most likely only to allow you to access USB storage (ie. a flash drive). This particular dongle needs Windows 8/7/Vista to support it so that your device can download the proper drivers that it needs and configure the right bluetooth profile so that you are able to pair devices. You may want to consider looking into wireless TV headphones instead. Hope that helps.

We purchased this tv and it does not have a USB port. It does have an SD card slot but I'm not sure what you can do with that besides looking at pictures. I'm not sure if you can view picture shows or not.

I would go with what is advertised by the vendor and not what (I am talking about myself here) an uneducated buyer says. I have a new Sony Bravia 48" TV and it's in my bedroom. I have it connected to my PC that is at the other end of my home. it works flawlessly.

Lee: I have not had that much success using a USB Flash drive on my Vizio 50" so I use my Sony 3D/BluRay, but it does not seem to like some MK4 videos. Therefore, I normally connect my laptop to the Vizio and play videos off the laptop through the HDMI port and using DVD13 or TMT6 software. Hope that information helps. Boyd

Hey, I am using this product usb 2.0 over an year. I bought one more flash drive 3.0 for my mom. It works great for me. You might have the defect in product. Ask seller to replace as this one is weird issue you described. You might wanna give a try to format the usb drive and then see if problem still exists. If yes then ask seller for the replacement.

I just bought my pandigital 7-inch today and with the usb cable connected to my computer I could not get the remote or anything else to work..however, the computer did recognize it as a drive and I was able to access the internal memory..as soon as I unplugged the usb cable the remote and all other functions worked normally..have fun

I've had info disappear if I scroll too rapidly, so I allow the drive to "catch up" Shen scrolling. Although Sony hasn't updated the firmware in quite some time, you might check to see if yours is current. Too bad sony no longer makes a carrousel.

I don't use the usb feature myself. But I would say that the answer by R. Schumacher sounds right. As far as the manual goes that's true of many manuals these days. I've found that I can get a bunch of good information by doing an online search. If you can find a chat room you'll get a lot of answers. Good luck.

I was shocked to discover that the BD370 USA model doesn't play movies from a USB drive period. Something about the software/firmware only allows access to photos/music. I read many reviews claiming support but just now realized that these reviews were coming from Europe, where the firmware differs slightly. From what I've read the BD390 can play all movies, even MKV files. I think I'm going to return my BD370 for a BD390, and now I understand why the BD390 is almost double the price.

Yes, i have watched videos off a usb thumb drive. I forget what video formats the TV Supports.

You know, I never got past the recording feature not working. I didn't buy it as a conventional USB flash drive. I did not have issues using it in my computer but never created anything on it (so there was nothing I erased either).

You have to put a jump drive in there, in the back. * 2GB seems to be the best idea, minimum. * But you can't use just any jump drive, because the slot is deeper and more narrow than you typically find on electronics (thanks a lot, Sony). * And (as if that wasn't annoying enough) I just got one to fit, but the 350 still won't recognize it. * Look at the owners manual, and there is a page about external memory where they suggest a Sony product by a specific serial number. I think that's what I am gonna try. * At the end of the day, the BD-Live content looks to be a lot of nonsense, but I've gotten sorta Ahab/Moby Dick about this task, and will pursue it to pointless depths. Good luck.
