This is an outdated kit, no longer available.
After a lot of search, finally I’ve found a USB/SD video player kit.
This kit is priced a bit high at 480Rs(as of 09/2011), which seemed to be loot when I was buying this, but later it is realized how useful is this.
The kit consists of a mainboard, one interface board, one display board and one remote.
Interface board: This board consists of HT1628 IC which is a DVD LED Driver IC. The mainboard connects to this board with a ribbon cable and this board consists of IR sensor and display. Another ribbon cable connects this board with the interface board which has 6 keys and LEDs for the panel.
Main Board: The mainboard has two main ICs, one is Zoran ZR36988 DVD processor IC, and another is W9864G RAM. There is an LM1117-3.3 voltage regulator on board which provides 3.3V supply for all the internals. There are a few small ICs like video amplifier, FM receiver, etc.
The Zoran ZR36988 IC is a variant of the popular Zoran 36888 IC, which is a DivX certified media player IC. It supports playback of JPEG, MP3, WMA, and MPEG-1/2/4 files and the IC provides HDMI output, true 5.1channel output, etc extraordinary features.
Though in the board those features were not implemented and there is only stereo audio and video output enabled for TVs.
More information about the IC: http://zoran.com/spip.php?page=imprimer&id_article=54 ( Link now dead )
There is connector for both SD/MMC cards and USB port in the board. I’ve tested this board with my USB pendrive and MP4 and AVI video playback i good enough.
The IC is also used in modern DVDs so there would not be any problem in finding the IC if it damages. I guess that IC will cost around 250-300Rs.

I have no knowledge of Electronics or its Mechanisam. Would you please post a (Youtube) video for joining parts, power supply and other connections.
Thank in Advance.
I'm afraid I don't have a setup for taking videos of regular workshop works.
hi Arup,
great work U have done for electronic hobbyists. I also brought one VTF-0024 (usb sd FM mp4) board in Patna (Bihar). connected 5vps/1amp but not showing any display and no any figure on TV. This board provided two ribbon cable one to AV and another to VGA. I can not understand appropriate connections. My TV(Samsung) 4 terminals video i/p & o/p and sound i/p &o/p.
Please guide me.
regards,
Anil
Please show me high resolution pictures of your board so that I can tell you what the labels mean in that board.
hai Arup
I have purchased vtf-0024 board and give power supply 5v/750mA from Nokia adaptor ,its 7segment display not working properly but it plays mp4,mp3
Check if you have connected the wire wrongly(reversely).
give me wiring diagram of mp4 vire ckt dia.
thanking you. I have seen the resolution picture on Alibaba.com
further connecting +5ve IC ( HT 1628, ZR 36966) heating. No LED Display.Disconnect LEB & USB/SD board but no result.
I guess the main IC has been damaged. it could be done by several reasons, and most obvious reason is bad power supply, either more than 5V or containing ripples, etc.
