Notes on the USB device
You cannot change the play mode while the USB
device is playing or paused.
It may take a long time before playback starts when:
– the folder structure is complex.
– the USB device is close to capacity.
When a USB device is connected, the unit reads all the
files on the device. If there are many folders or files on
the device, it may take a long time for the unit to
finish reading them.
Do not connect a USB device to the unit through a
USB hub.
In the case of some USB devices, when an operation is
performed on the USB device, there may be a delay
before it is carried out on this unit.
This unit may not support all the functions provided
on a connected USB device.
Files recorded by this unit are played back in the order
of folder creation. Files recorded by a device other

in the order in which they were recorded.
The playback order on this unit may differ from the
playback order on a connected USB device.
Do not save non-MP3/WMA files or unnecessary
folders to a USB device that contains MP3/WMA files.
During playback, folders that contain no MP3/WMA
files are skipped.
This unit can play only MP3/WMA files that have the
“.mp3” or “.wma” file extension.
If there are files on the disc that have the “.mp3” or
“.wma” file extension, but are not MP3/WMA files, the
unit may produce noise or malfunction.

Example of folder structure and playing
order
The playback order of folders and files is as follows:
Folder
MP3/WMA file
Notes on MP3/WMA discs
When the disc is inserted, the unit reads all the files
on that disc.
During this time, “READING” is displayed. If there
are many folders or non-MP3/WMA files on the disc,
it may take a long time for playback to begin, or for
the next MP3/WMA file to start playing.
We recommend that you do not save unnecessary
folders or files other than MP3/WMA ones in the disc
to be used for MP3/WMA listening.
A folder that does not include an MP3/WMA file is
skipped.
Maximum number of files: 511
Maximum number of folders: 511
(including the root folder)
Maximum directory levels: 8
Folder names and file names can be displayed with up
to 32 characters including quotation marks.
The characters A - Z, 0 - 9, and _ can be displayed on
this unit. Other characters are displayed as “_”.
This unit conforms to Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4
of the ID3 tag format. When a file has ID3 tag
information, “song title”, “artist name” and “album
name” can be displayed. If a file does not have the ID3
tag information, its file name appears instead of the
song title, “NO ARTIST” appears instead of the artist
name and “NO ALBUM” appears instead of the album
name. ID3 tag information can be displayed with up
to 32 characters.
When naming, be sure to add the file extension “.mp3”
or “.wma” to the file name.
If you put the extension “.mp3” or “.wma” to a file
other than an MP3/WMA file, the unit cannot
recognize the file properly and will generate random
noise that could damage your speakers.
The file name does not correspond to the ID3 tag.

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 a USB device to the unit through a USB
hub.
When recording from a CD, the tracks are recorded as
MP3 files at 128 kbps. When recording from an MP3/
WMA disc, MP3/WMA files are recorded with the same
bit rate as the original MP3/WMA files.
While recording a source (MP3/WMA disc), no sound is
output and “HI-SPEED” appears.
CD text information is not included in the MP3/WMA
files.
If you cancel a recording before it is completed, an MP3/
WMA file is created up to the point the recording was
stopped.
Recording stops automatically if:
– the USB device runs out of space during recording.
– the number of MP3/WMA files on the USB device
reaches the limit that the unit can recognize.
A maximum of 5,000 MP3/WMA files and 255 folders
can be contained on a single USB device (including root
and MUSIC). A maximum of 999 files can be contained in
a single folder.
The maximum number of MP3/WMA files and folders
may vary, depending on the MP3/WMA file and folder
structure.
The maximum number of directory levels is 8.
You cannot erase MP3/WMA folders during playback or
pause.
If a folder to be erased contains non-MP3/WMA format
files or sub folders, these are not erased.
If a folder or file with the same name as the one you are
trying to record already exists on the USB device, a
sequential number is added after the name of the newly
recorded folder or file to avoid overwriting the existing
one.
Radio sound cannot be recorded by using a USB device.
