I’m trying to change the start up screen on my DNX9180DABS and I keep getting a red screen with NG in the middle when I press the Opening Customize button.
The thing I’m getting confused with is the image size to use, the prepare image size (1377 x 720) or the crush image size (1280 x 720)?
The thing is I’ve tried both sizes and I get the same red screen, it must be reading the usb drive OK because if I don’t plug it in the buttons are greyed out, once it’s plugged in it recognises the usb drive and the buttons become available.
I’ve formatted the usb drive as FAT32, the unedited OpeningCustomize.txt file is at root level along with the prepared logo saved as image1.bmp. These are the only two files on the drive. The image1.bmp is saved as a 16bit full colour and RGB 5, 6, 5 file. I’ve saved it as a 1377 x 720 file and as a 1280 x 720 file but with either resolution I get the red screen with NG displayed in the middle of it.
What am I doing wrong?
Does nobody know the answer?
Never mind, I figured it out in the end with the help of Kenwood support,
