Unable to connect my 1 TB HDD (WD Elements) with Denon AVR 1200

[amitksvs]

Hi,
So far I used to connect 4GB or 8GB USB Flash Drives to my Denon AVR X1200 (bought 3 years ago, and sparingly used) to play MP3s or FLAC; now when I am trying to connect a WD Elements 1 TB to this receiver; it says, after searching, "No Connection". I have tried restarts etc. but nothing works. Can you please help!
Thanks.

Many AVRs do not recognize NTFS
It has to be FAT, and FAT size is limited
Cheers,

The 1TB drive may be formatted in NTFS. If you want to use it you may have to reformat it in FAT32. See this page for supported formats.

As already mentioned by the others.....FAT32 formats only can be read......audio and sometimes photo files.........as per manual....not guaranteed to read thumb drives always....so dont really 100% depend on it.....
