If the
USB1
input stops responding and cannot be found by the PC, it may be that the
USB firmware has been corrupted. This can happen if the USB connection is not secure
or is disconnected while playing a track. Disconnect the USB cable, change the
Unit
Settings > USB Class
setting, then change it back and re-connect the USB cable. This will
usually solve the problem.
