FAQ 
Q: I’ve modified some of the settings but there seems to be no change! 
A: Make sure you have saved the new settings, then exit the Setup menu and restart the 
unit by turning off the power switch, then turning it back on a few seconds later. 
Q: I’ve set up the scheduled download but the files are nowhere to be found! 
A: The download function only works with an internal drive. Make sure either a hard drive 
or CF card is installed and it is recognised by the DS5 before you enable the download 
function. The files will then be stored in the directory you have defined in the downl.lst file. 
Q: I’ve installed a local drive but it is not recognised by the DS5!
A: Make sure the jumper is set to Master (for 3.5” drives) and format the HDD using the 
FAT32 file system before installing it. If it is not recognised, change the jumper as seen in 
Chapter 2. 
Q: Why are some of the functions in this manual not the same as on my DS5?
A: The functions may change with every firmware update. Please download the latest 
manual and firmware from our website. If some of the functions are still missing, contact 
your sales representative. 
Q: How do I upgrade the firmware? 
A: See page 22 or refer to the instructions on the website. 
Q: What is the current version of my firmware? 
A: You can see the date of your current firmware in the setup menu. Turn on your DS5 and 
once ready, press the SETUP button on your remote control to enter the setup menu. The 
date will be displayed on that screen. 
Q: Can I turn off the messages like “Loading File” as an example? 
A: Yes, you can turn off the on-screen messages in the setup menu. Go to the MISC2 
category and turn off the OSD messages. 
Q: I’ve added three files to my playlist but only two of them are displayed! 
A: When you create the playlist, add one more empty line at the end of the playlist before 
you save the file. 
Q: I’ve enabled the Manual/Standby Play Mode and now it shows “NO TITLE FILES”! 
A: This message will appear if there is no 000.avi or 000.jpg & 000.mp3 file on the local 
drive. It will also appear if a numeric button is pressed but there is no such a file. Make 
sure to rename your files properly and store them on the local drive, then try again. 
Q: The remote commands of the Configuration Tool don’t work on Windows Vista. 
A: The TFTP Client on Windows Vista is disabled by default but the Configuration Tool 
needs this application to send the remote commands. Go to the Control Panel and turn on 
the TFTP client, then try again.
