[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1038383, member: 176704"] Update 2: I fitted the disk inside the m/c as per the first TM, [I]but then I tried some different[/I]! [U]Stage 1[/U] : Instead of connecting the cable from the disk directly to the rear USB port, I connected a 4-port USB hub, with switches for each port, to the rear USB port and then I plugged the cable from the disk into that - and it worked. [U]Stage 2[/U]: I plugged a Wifi dongle into another of the switched ports - it didn't work at first but after moving around the hub ports and a couple of power OFF-ON restarts of the m/c then it did as did access to the internal hard disk, and so I now had both WiFi and the internal disk working as USB0. [U]Stage 3[/U]: I plugged a couple more (randomly chosen) flash drives in - one to another of the hub ports and the other to the front panel port, and the m/c recognised those as USB1 and USB2 (as well as still having USB0 working and the Wifi working). [U]Stage 4:[/U] still having 1 spare port on the hub and a cheap USB speaker setup, I plugged in the USB power lead of that to the spare port, and connected the stereo input to the speakers to the R & L audio outputs on the rear panel - and that worked and now I had sound, and the other stuff still worked. [I](you may wonder why I bothered with this stage, but it's simply because the audio o/p via HDMI on this m/c is very, very low for some reason and I can't hear much from the speakers in the display - whereas the other receivers have no problem in driving the latter to a reasonable level)[/I] Photos below, but I think you could do the same thing to many other receivers.
