Media Audio) files.  It is preferable to set up your flash drive/thumb drive with a folder
system. This way you can advance to another set of songs (folder) by pressing the disc
up or disc down buttons. Similar to having multiple disc in a CD changer.

the back of radio).
2. Turn and release the left rear knob clockwise until USB PLAY is displayed on the
screen.  The radio will automatically start playing your files starting with the first file on
the flash drive.
3. To change songs use the track up or track down buttons (6)(7). Use the disc up disc
down buttons (4)(5) to change folders if your drive is set up with folders.

Note: The folder name or number does not appear on the LCD Display. Track numbers
for songs in the folder are determined by the
order in which they were recorded to the
flash drive.

The player will not play MP4 or files with
copy protection.
