Abstract: A media processing device uses an external storage device. The media processing device includes a storage device access module, an information source, a program memory, a system memory, a signal processor, a user interface and a system controller. The system controller accesses the external storage device, reads file information, and constructs contents to be displayed. When the system controller receives a command to select a media file, the system controller accesses the external storage device, searches for the selected media file, reads data of the searched media file, copies the read data, and provides the copied data to be decoded. When the system controller receives a commend to encode a signal, the system controller controls the signal processor to encode the input signal into media data, constructs a media file from the encoded media data, positions the media file, and copies the constructed media file when the external storage device is accessible through the storage device access module.
