Hey all :)

I'm wondering if anyone can offer any help or advice. I have a Panasonic TH-P50UT30A. Since I got the TV I have been able to watch movies from a friends HDD via USB no problem. However, the TV does not seem to want to record to this HDD, nor can I use the HDD to utilise the live pause/ffwd/rew TV functions. Inaddition to this, I have also tried using a USB memory stick/thumb drive. This just wont do anything. At all. When I plug it in, the "usb device detected" thingy pops up. But that's it. I can't record to it. And when I try to access it or perform any kind of set up, it says there's no USB device connected, despite the fact that the TV has already said USB device detected.

I'm beginning to get a little frustrated and annoyed at the lack of functionality that I seem to be experiencing.

Any ideas ? Anyone ?

Thank you :)
 
I "think" your model is playback only from USB, pretty sure this query popped up once before re the same model.

Apologies, I searched 50UT30 USB in the Panasonic search box and it threw up this list.

Then found TH P50UT30A (Australia) and posted that result.

I may be wrong but there's my working out.


Oops sorry - didn't pick up the fact it was a 50UT30A (australian version) :blush:
 
You need to format the hard drive to panasonics exclusive format to record on it, once formated all your videos will be gone and you won't be able to use the drive on any other device till you re-format it.
