AUDIO PLAYBACK VIA USB STORAGE
DEVICE

main menu, more information about USB playback can be
found in the next chapter.
8. LISTENING TO MUSIC VIA USB
DEVICE
The WFR-32 is equipped with two USB ports, one for
charging USB devices and one for USB playback. If you
want to listen to music using a USB device, make sure
you connect the USB device to the USB playback port (14).
PLAYBACK FROM A USB DEVICE
Follow these steps to playback music from a USB device:
1.
Insert the USB device into the USB playback port.
2.
Turn on the radio using the Power button (1) on the
radio or the Power button (a) on the remote.
3.
Select the
USB
menu from the radio’s main menu.
4.
The radio’s display will now show all files and folders on
the USB device. Use the radio’s controls or the remote
control to select the file or playlist that you want to play
on the radio.
5.
After playback has started, the display will show cover
art (if available), the artist’s name, the track name and
the playback progress. repeatedly press the Next button
(6) on the radio or Right button(r) on the remote control
to zoom in on the cover art or view it in full screen.
Note:
The radio only supports the FAT, FAT32, and exFAT
file systems, so make sure your USB device has been
formatted using the file system. Your radio is unable
to play from media formatted using the NTFS file
system.
Important:
Your radio is only designed to work with USB flash
memory devices. It is not intended to be connected to
hard disk drives or any other type of USB device.
The WFR-32 has been tested to support USB memory
devices with a capacity of up to 256GB. However,
there are many different memory devices available
and not all memory devices can be guaranteed to
work with the WFR-32.
Playback does not support files encoded using WMA
lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10 professional, nor files
of any format which have DRM protection.
Unless you have only a few files on the USB memory
device, do not store all files in the same root folder.
The number of items (files / sub-folders) in any folder
should be less than 1000.
Searching and playback will be more responsive if
the number of files in any one folder is limited (we
suggest no more than 200).
It is recommended that the USB memory is
reformatted in your computer before adding your
music files.
The maximum depth of folder nesting permitted is 8
folder levels (but playback is only from the currently
selected level).
Cautions:
In order to minimize the risk of damage to your radio
and your USB memory device, please place the unit
in such a manner that the device cannot easily be
knocked while it is inserted in the socket.
Remove the USB device before carrying the unit or
if not using the USB feature for a prolonged period.
Press the power button on the radio (1) or press the
power button on the remote (a) to enter Standby mode
when removing your USB memory device.
