    Furrion Entertainment System and Digital Media

    Sorry if this is a redundant question, however my search attempts yielded no results.. So I'll ask, is this entertainment system capable of processing digital media? I have a movie library primarily in digital format that I can load on a USB thumb drive. Is there any usb inputs on the Furrion or directly on the TV,s? Just planning ahead as I don't have the trailer yet, picking up tomorrow.. Thanks

    There is USB ports on both the TV's and the entertainment systems. However, according to this link it doesn't look promising.

    Best bet is to buy a WDTV Live media player and connect your USB drive to that. Then it's a simple HDMI cable between the WDTV and the TV.

    ^^^^That is exactly what I did in my unit. I have two of the WDTV's, one in the garage with kid movies on it and one in the main house with grown up comedies and action movies. It's the easiest setup without having to buy extra. It's a little slow loading, but if you set it up in your house first on wifi, it will load all the tags for the movies and keep it there as long as you use the same jump drive all the time.

    I keep a 1tb hard drive connected to each unit at all times and only take it in to add new movies if I get new ones.

    Thanks for the input/idea..so with the wdtv, do you plug it up to the Furrion via usb and broadcast throughout the system, or is this plugged directly into the TV? Thanks again

    I ditched the Furion dvd player and got a smart blu ray dvd that had usb and could play many media file types. This gave me better picture quality for dvd's with a hdmi cable. It was cheaper than a media player.

    I hook my WDTV to the TV via HDMI. However, to get sound out of the TV and into the stereo system I actually use a headphone cable to connect the TV headphone output to the Furrion AUX input.
