Notes

 Do not remove the USB device during 

recording or erase operations. Doing so 

may corrupt the data on the USB device or 

damage the USB device itself.

 Do not connect the system and the USB 

device through an USB hub.

 When recording from a CD, the tracks 

are recorded as 128 kbps MP3 files. When 

recording from an MP3 disc, MP3 files 

are recorded with the same bit rate as the 

original MP3 files.

 While recording from an MP3 disc, no sound 

is output and “HI-SPEED” appears.

 CD text information is not recorded in the 

created MP3 files.

 If you cancel the recording partway, an 

MP3 file is created up to the point when the 

recording was stopped.

 Recording stops automatically if:

  the USB device runs out of space during 

recording.

  the number of MP3 files on the USB 

device reaches the limit for the number 

that the system can recognize.

 The maximum number of MP3 files and 

folders that can be contained on a single USB 

device is 999 (including the “ROOT” and 

“MUSIC” folders). 

The maximum number of MP3 files and 

folders may vary depending on the MP3 file 

and folder structure.

 You cannot erase MP3 files and folders in 

shuffle play mode or program play mode.

 If the folder to be erased contains non-MP3 

format files or sub folders, these are not 

erased.

 If a folder or file that you are trying to record 

already exists on the USB device with the 

same name, a sequential number is added 

after the name without overwriting the 

original folder or file.

Listening to music of 

an USB device
