Note: Use only USB mass storage devices.

Note: Always switch the audio unit to a different source (for example, the radio) before disconnecting the USB device.

Note: Do not install or connect USB hubs or splitters.

Note: The system is designed only to recognise and read suitable audio files from a USB device that conforms to the USB mass storage device category, or from an iPod. It cannot be guaranteed that all USB devices will work with this system.

Note: Compatible devices can be connected with a USB cable, as well as those that plug directly into the USB port (for example, USB flash drives).

Note: Some USB devices with high power consumption may not be compatible (for example, some large hard disk drives).

Note: The access time for reading files on the external device varies depending on factors such as the file structure, file size and the content of the device.

The audio unit supports a wide range of external devices. Once connected, the external device can be controlled using the audio unit.

Operating the USB device

Connect the device to the audio unit.

Select the USB device as the audio source by pressing the MEDIA button until the USB screen appears on the display. If the AUTOPL function is switched on after connecting the USB device, the first track in the first folder plays automatically. If the AUTOPL function is switched off, press OK to confirm and start playing the track. After switching the audio source, the system remembers the playback position of the USB device.

Note: In USB mode, turn AUTOPL on or off by pressing the MENU button, go to the AUTOPL screen and use the up and down arrow keys to select, then press OK to confirm.

Press the up and down seek buttons to move forward and backward between tracks. Press and hold to fast-forward or rewind within a track. You can also select a track using the keypad. Enter the number of the desired track (for example, 1 then 2 for track 12) or dial the number and press OK directly.

To change folder, press the MENU button repeatedly until the 'USB Browser' screen appears, press OK and use the up and down arrow keys to select the desired option. Press OK to confirm.
