USB HDDs that can be used with BRAVIA TVs must meet the following conditions. However, Sony does not guarantee that they will operate. Use them at your own risk.

• Supported file systems and maximum drive sizes

  * The maximum size per file in a USB HDD is limited to 4 GB.
   
• RPM: No condition
   
• Read/Write speed: No condition
   
• The maximum output current of the TV USB port: 500 mA
  Use an external USB HDD that requires a maximum of 500 mA. If it exceeds this power requirement, the TV may not be able to supply the necessary power for proper operation.

NOTE: To record to an external USB HDD device, it should be connected to the USB port for recording via a USB cable.

Terminals and labels may vary depending on country/region/TV model.
