I was told by some that a hard drive could be connected to the n-5. I know you can connect an ipod and play videos that way, but I was curious as to weather or not a hard drive would work. On my av menu there is a button that says usb connection, but I don't know if I would be able to access and control the hard drive through it. Any info would e appreciated, Thanks!

Yes i have a 80 GB hard drive on mine with the USB adaptor, all 8,000 MP3's on it, works just fine, no more CD's or need for a CD changer, i had it in for over a year now and still works fine. You might need a power plug for the hard drive as the usb adaptor may not be powerful enough to turn on the hard drive by its self like a computer can, a 5 volt plug worked for me, (its extually a psp car plug but it works fine with my hard drive)

How exactly do you hook that up to play movies from the hard drive to the unit? Do you use the USB CD-UB100?

Thanks, just found out you can't use the CD-UB100 for video files.
