Yes, It Works with 500 GB USB HDD also.
Hi All,
I also bought Passion DVD Player with USB on 19 th July 2007.
Shop : Big Bazaar, Bangalore.
Price in Rs: 1299
6 months warranty only.
It works with my 500 GB USB HDD with Power Supply.
I have formatted It as FAT32 using the tool given earlies in the thread.

Fallow the below steps for better results.
1. Do not connect HDD to USB before you power up.
I noticed, It hangs, or doesn't power up.
Better disconnect USB HDD in the begining.
2. First power up your DVD Player.
3. Now connect your HDD to USB.
4. When it detects USB. press Program button only once on your Remote.
This is mainly to switch to Folder list from File list.
This time it will show folders very fast.
It is always better to have files inside folders on HDD.
If it doesn't work. Power off and power up and try agin [ refer step 1. ]
you will get it.
This player can also detect multipe FAT32 partions.
But I have tried with 2 only.
a. Press USB button on remote.
b. Select USB from the menu [DVD / USB ]
It will display fat32 partions as USB1 , USB2, etc.
c. Select your partion by using arrow keys.
Then refer step 4 above.
This player also works with USB Card Reader.

Gadget Guru.
