Macpower & Tytech MVISTO User Manual - Pc/mac Connection
PC/Mac Connection
Mvisto automatically operates as an external USB 2.0
hard disk when connected to a PC or Macintosh. Use
the included USB 2.0 cable to connect your device to
the computer system. Your system will automatically
recognize Mvisto as an external hard disk in which you
can copy any file(s) you want (music, movie, picture,
and/or data). It is strongly recommended to empty
the “Recycle Bin” after your file(s) deletions to free
the HDD space.

Mvisto supports all file formats: FAT32 (Windows 98SE,
Windows ME, Mac) NTFS (Windows 2000, Windows
XP), HFS+ (Mac) with up to 480 Mbps transfer rate (in
USB 2.0 connection). If your computer system does not
have a USB 2.0 interface, but only USB 1.1, you will receive a warning.
Mvisto
You can still use the device with USB 1.1, but with a slower performance level.
Mvisto is an external USB 2.0 hard disk device that can be connected to a variety of Operating
Systems supporting the USB interface:
•
Win98/SE (Install driver from CD first)
•
Windows Me/2000/XP
•
Mac OS9, OSX
NOTE: You do not need the external power adaptor
when connected to the computer. Mvisto is powered
through USB bus power.
If bus power is insufficient,
use the USB power adaptor! Connect the power adaptor
to the mini 5-pin USB port on the USB power adaptor
and connect the Mvisto to the 4-pin USB connector.
“Firmware”: this is the folder in which you copy the latest Mvisto firmware files found at your
vendor’s web site. Inside this folder, you may have or create two (2) subfolders:
• “Font” for your external Unicode true type font.
• “Settings” for the “Settings.txt” file, which includes your initial standard setting.
“Movies”:
You will copy your favorite movie files to this folder.
“Music”:
You will copy your favorite music files to this folder.
“Pictures”:
You will copy your favorite image files to this folder.
NOTE: ALL the prerequisite folders listed above have the READ ONLY attribute and
should never be deleted or renamed because your Mvisto uses these exact names as a
reference to locate the respective files.
Under these directories you can have any directory
structure that is convenient to you.
If you need a directory to transfer your files from one computer to another, you may certainly
create more directories and name it whatever you like. These folders won’t affect Mvisto but
will NOT show up on your TV screen!
