DivX® and XviD®
compatibility.
When a new version of DivX® or
XviD® is released, will the LaCie
LaCinema Classic be able to play
those files, too?
Provided that the new version complies with the ISO MPEG- 4 stan-
dard, the LaCie LaCinema Classic should be able to play the new
versions.
Does the LaCie LaCinema Clas-
sic support external subtitles with
DivX® files?
Yes, the LaCie LaCinema Classic does support this functionality by
using Unicode text files with extensions .sub (MicroDVD format) and
.smi. In order to work correctly, use the same file name for both the
video file and subtitle text file, and store both of them in the same
folder location on your LaCie LaCinema Classic. For example, if the
file name of the video file is “Movie.avi,” then you will need to re-
name the subtitle text as either “Movie.sub” or “Movie.srt.”

Are all of the cables connected
correctly?
Ensure that all of the cables are connected correctly. If you are using
the Composite A/V cable, make sure that the component cable is not
plugged in at the same time. See section 3. Connecting The LaCie
LaCinema Classic to Your TV and Stereo.
Optimizing video
connections.
What connectivity method will
produce the best quality?
For optimal quality and performance, the best video connection is the
HDMI cable (included).
Viewing photos. Does it take several seconds to
load a picture?
Depending on file size, photos may take several seconds to load
properly. Reducing the photo’s resolution will reduce the file size, as
well, and allow the file to load faster.
“Empty Folder”
message appears.
Are there compatible files in the
appropriate folder?
If you know that there are compatible files in the folder and they
are not being displayed, move the power switch on the back of
the LaCinema Classic to the OFF position, wait several seconds,
and then turn the LaCinema Classic on. Your files should now be
displayed.
