Does the 510 play video (mp4) from the SD slot ?

Does the RCD510 not have to have a certain firmware version in order to play any cards above 2gb, or am I just making that up?!
I'm pretty sure its only the newest firmware thats been posted around recently that lets the unit take 32gb cards.
Before classing your unit as faulty, try a 1gb card or something lower and see if that works?

I have also tried an sdhc card 4gb in my rns510 and it came up with an sd card error.I agree with p3eps that it would appear that the latest firmware is needed.Tried a 2gb sd card and this worked perfectly but not with wma files when copying to HDD,used mp3 instead.

Maybe my mistake just looked and its called a windows media audio file,they are slightly larger than mp3 so i just assumed it was mp4 its a music file
