1) Mede8er Hard Drive Format

We recommend that the Hard Drive is formatted by the Mede8er's internal Format Feature otherwise you will loose some functionality. You can use a pre formatted Hard Drive in the Mede8er but you will not be able to use some of the special MED500X features.

2) How to use Subtitles

Download the subtitle you require. We recommend you use the SRT subtitle format. Rename the subtitle to exactly the same name as the movie file name BUT do not change the extension .srt. Copy this file into the same folder as the movie file. Play the movie and open the Subtitle Manager and select the Subtitle Tab then select (SRT).
