KDL-22EX320 HDD Registration problems

[Erik_Carlson]

I am trying to register an external powered USB hard disk with a KDL-22EX320 TV so that I can enable recording. The specs say that it's compatible with drives up to 2TB and forum posts suggest that externally powered drives are best so I chose a 2TB Hitachi Drive.

The drive works fine on a computer. When I plug it into the TV the TV says first:

"USB device cannot be used for recording until it has been registered with the TV. Please sleect "HDD Registration" from Recording Set-up" menu"

So I do that and it says: "The HDD connected with USB port for recording was not able to be recognised. Please confirm the connection".

I have checked the connect. rebooted the TV, updated firmware to the latest version. Now I am stumped. What can I do please? Happy to post pictures of the errors if that helps.

Thanks

Erik
