only front left and right speakers. In the Reference
Mode, the apparent width of the sound across the
front image is defined by the distance between the
two speakers. The Wide Mode provides a wider,
more spacious front image when the two speakers
are close together. Select Movie or Music accor-
ding to source material.

Important Notes:
• Via USB only the following files can be listed
and played: MP3 or WMA music, JPEG pictures,
DivX or XviD movie files. Normal MPEG2
movies, MPEG1, VCD/SVCD or MJPEG movie
files will not be played.
• Only FAT32 formated Hard Drives can be con-
nected to USB. When your HD is preformatted
with NTFS, it must be re-formated with FAT32
before any files are stored onto it. Note that
the FORMAT-function of Windows XP can cre-
ate FAT32-partitions with max. 32 GB only.
To use a bigger HD with FAT32, specific tools
are needed (e.g. Norton Partition Magic or
Acronis Partition Expert). Please ask your
Dealer to get more information about those
specific programs.
• With USB as source, programming and random
functions are not available.
In case several USB devices are connected, all
will be shown in the same USB Menu. To differ-
entiate the drives, they will be shown as 1 and 2.
USB drives can have more than one partition. If
that is the case, the different partitions will be
shown as 1a, 1b, 1c etc.
