Just got one of these players after seeing alot of good reviews. Received it today and I have found my USB HD won't work with it. Not sure why..........(Small 120GB HD bought in Japan)
Although I have found that I can connect USB sticks to it without problems and surprisingly I can use my ipod with it too.
My main issue with the player, is that when using the USB port to play .avi files it doesn't recognise the .srt files which are on the media. So I get no subtitles which is an issue for me.
If I put the same files on a DVD the .srt files are recognised.

1. Is there any settings somewhere that will allow the .srt files to be seen from the USB media? (I have the latest firmware)
2. Any ideas as to why my USB HD won't work? (Formated as FAT32)
3. Should I try and reformat it?

cheers

srt files discussed here. Hope it's a simple fix for you.
