Playing Music from a USB Thumb Drive
Insert your USB thumb drive into the Mondo+ and on the radio menu select
Media Player
then
select
USB
.
NOTE:
USB sticks must be formatted in one of the following protocols: FAT, FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3 or ext4.
Playing Music from a USB Hard Drive
Connect your USB hard drive to the Mondo+. If your drive requires more power, you may
want to use a USB powered hub in between the Mondo+ and the USB hard drive, then select
‘Media Player,’ then select ‘USB,’ then you will be able to navigate and play your music using
the
Tune Knob
.
UPnP Media Servers
The Mondo+ will play music from network connected UPnP or DNLA media servers. You
must first make sure that the media server is on the same network as the Mondo+, then select
‘Media Player,’ then select ‘UPnP,’ then select your device and you will be able to navigate and
play your music using the
Tune Knob
.
NOTE:
The Mondo+ is a media player and renderer. This means that the features and functionality are driven by
your media player software. To optimize the performance, keep your media player folder size to a manageable size.
The larger the folder size, the longer it takes the Mondo+ to display the folder content and scroll through them.
Additionally, check the product specifications section of the manual to see the supported
protocols pages 43-46. If you have a mixture of supported and unsupported formats in
a folder on your media server, depending on your software, the radio will be able to see
all, some, or none of the folders. So, it is always best to make sure the folder you want the
Mondo+ to access only has supported formats /bit rates etc.
