USB Mode

These are the two file systems Samsung supports. FAT32 when every file is under 4 GB; NTFS when a single video is bigger. If a stick misbehaves, reformat to FAT32 first.

Images: JPEG, PNG, BMP — max 20 MB per image (the limit people trip over most often). No WebP, GIF, TIFF or SVG. Videos: MP4/MKV/MOV and most common containers.

Files in the root or in folders both work. Folder names that are too long can't be selected on screen. A slideshow needs at least two images — a lone image will not start.

Menu → System → Play via → MagicInfo. The Player only exists in this mode.

Menu → System → Time → Clock Set. Both Player and Schedule refuse to work without it.

Any USB port on the connector panel.

Press Home on the remote, select Player. Storage used/available shows top-right; a storage selector sits top-left.

Open the top-left dropdown — the USB entry only appears while a stick is inserted.

Selecting a file plays it. Selecting a folder plays its contents in alphabetical order as a loop — images become a slideshow. Filter By narrows to one content type.

• TOOLS — menu bar: Playlist, Channel List, Repeat All / Repeat One, Background Music
• ►/◄ — next / previous item  ·  Enter — play/pause  ·  Stop — back to Player

Options (top-right) holds Slide Show Speed and Effect, Contents Size, Default Contents (the fallback when nothing is scheduled — set it so the screen never goes blank), Safely remove device.

The screen has 8 GB internal storage; the system takes about half. Plan content around a 4 GB ceiling.

With the storage selector on the USB device, select the files, then Options → Send → destination Internal Memory. Regular files land in the internal memory root; template (.LFD) files land under My Templates. (Copying the other way, to a stick, everything lands in a MagicInfoSlide folder.)

Options → Safely remove device, pull the stick, set the storage selector back to Internal Memory, play from there. The screen now runs with nothing attached.

Shows a storage selector, Send and Delete buttons, and three local channels CH 1 / CH 2 / CH 3 with their programs as time-labelled thumbnails.

Select "Select to edit this schedule" → the Edit Schedule screen has three parts: add content, set Start Time / End Time (or tick 24 hours), and name the channel. Save. Repeat to lay consecutive slots across the day.

Anything not covered by a slot falls through to the default content, set in Options. Always set it — otherwise the screen goes blank between slots.

Select a configured channel → Send → copies channel + schedules to a USB stick. On the next screen, Send it back from the stick. This is how you replicate one configured screen without a server.

Home → On/Off Timer — seven independent on-timers and off-timers, each with Off / Once / Everyday / Mon–Fri / Mon–Sat / Sat–Sun / Manual day patterns, wake source and (for MagicInfo mode) the content to play at power-on. Holiday Management suppresses timers on date ranges. Samsung recommends the timer's content live on internal memory, not USB.

These two folders are written automatically when publishing to a USB device from the MagicInfo authoring tools — don't create them by hand with loose files.

Menu → System → Security → USB Auto Play Lock:

• Off → published USB content plays automatically ← what you want
• On → nothing plays; the screen flashes "USB Auto Play Lock : On" for 5 seconds

Also confirm USB Lock in the same menu is Off, or the ports are dead entirely.

Properly published content appears as a Published Content tile on the Player screen and starts on its own. It can be copied to Internal Memory (it shows up there as one opaque "Published Content" item — the folders are absorbed).
