This tech note outlines how to disable all external storage devices on a player. This method will disable storage devices on the following interfaces:

  • XTx44/XTx43: microSD, USB

  • XDx34/XDx33: microSD, USB

  • 4Kx42: SD, USB

This method does not allow you to choose certain interfaces to disable. It also disables storage operations only; other USB devices will operate as normal.
