GPX Portable Music and Movie System Saint Louis, Missouri

1st of Jul, 2011 by User258867

Bought GPX Portable Music and Movie System product # BD707B on June 18, 2011 for $99.99. Box states that one of the features is: USB Port (plays movies, music and photos from a USB Mass Storage Device). Got the product home and uploaded a few movies in various formats to a thumb drive. Put the drive into the USB port and waited while the screen said "loading". Waited 20 minutes the decided to put a single format on the drive. Another 20 minute wait got no results. So I went the company's website and looked in the FAQs. Right there on their page it says "will NOT play movies from a Mass Storage Device". Decided to try a portable external hard drive and a powered external hard drive with 5 different video formats on each. Nothing worked. So the marketing on the box is completely false and I, in turn, emailed the company that day. No response at all after 2 weeks. Not sure if I should find a commercial arbitrator for this on not.

I just bought one of these too. I carefully read the box where it says "USB Port (plays movies...)". hat was a key factor in me buying this unit. I got it home and put 2 .avi files on the usb drive and plugged it in, no dice. The file system menu that comes up has an icon of a movie reel as if you MIGHT be able to watch movies but you can't select it and .avi's definitely do not show up on it. Don't get me wrong, this unit is pretty slick...the sound quality is great and it DOES play DVDs fine. It just DOES'NT play movie files from a USB drive.
