QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

Playback from my USB memory starts after a very long time (about 2-3 minutes). Some files saved on the USB memory by the factory may significantly reduce access speed (the indexing time is multiplied by ten). Delete the factory files from the USB memory and reduce the number of subfolders on the USB memory.
When I connect my iPhone as a phone and via the USB socket at the same time, I cannot play music files. When the iPhone connects automatically as a phone, it forces streaming to be enabled. Streaming overrides USB mode, which is no longer supported. The Apple player continues to play the track, but without sound. Disconnect, then reconnect the USB (USB mode will override streaming mode).
Some characters in the information on the media currently playing are not displayed correctly. The audio system cannot process some types of characters. Use standard characters in track and folder names.
Reading of files in streaming mode does not start. The connected device does not allow playback to start automatically. Start playback from the connected device.
Track names and playback time are not displayed on the screen in audio streaming mode. The Bluetooth profile does not allow this information to be transmitted.
