jeffsic,
1. Page 68 of the manual shows you how to erase multiple photos, but there is no way to delete all the photos off the thumb-drive all at once.
2. A portable USB drive may work with Fat32/Fat16 formatting, but only if it's an MSC (mass storage class) drive. The manual also lists some requirements to use an MSC drive that might be helpful to review. Since I can't see the drive or the stats, it's hard to determine why that specific drive might not work. Are the files buried in folders? That may be an issue.
3. C|Net is a great source of information for the PC Sharing and DLNA involvment.

I have a LN52A630. i put a thumb drive with pictures in the side usb connection. The pictures loaded but seems to take a long time. Anyways, i have quite a few pictures loaded but now i want to delete them. It appears i have to delete them one by one which will basically make the feature unuseable for me.
1. Can you delete all pictures somehow?
2. i also tried to hook up a portable USB drive and the system didn't reconize it. I tried Fat 32 and NTFS formats but it wouldn't see the device. Is there something i can do to get these to read?
3. I am reading alot about PC sharing, TVercity, etc. which apparently give you the ability to get your PC involved with the TV. Where is the best place to get more info?
Thanks so much for the help.
Jeff
