SD / USB mode
This section describes how to use your radio to access and playback your
audio
fi
les via Secure Digital (SD, SDHC) cards and USB memory devices.
The Concerto has been tested with a range of SD cards up to 2GB and
SDHC cards and USB memory devices up to 16GB. However there are
many different card variants available and not all cards can be guaranteed
to work in the Concerto. Memory must use the FAT or FAT 32
fi
ling system
in order to operate in the Concerto.
Important:
Your radio is designed to work with USB
fl
ash memory devices.
It is not intended to be connected to hard disk drives or any other type
of USB device.
Audio formats supported for playback are MP3 and WMA. Playback does
not support
fi
les encoded using WMA lossless, WMA voice, WMA 10
professional, nor
fi
les of any format which have DRM protection.
The SD slot and USB socket are located on the top of the unit on the right
hand side of the radio.
Cautions
In order to minimise the risk of damage to your radio, SD card or USB
memory device, please place the unit so that the device cannot be easily
knocked while it is inserted in the socket.
Remove the SD card or USB memory device before carrying the unit or
if not using the SD/USB feature for a prolonged period.
Switch the unit off before removing your SD card or USB memory device.
Recommendations
Unless you have only a few
fi
les on the memory device, do not place all
fi
les in the root folder.
The number of items (
fi
les/sub directories) in any directory should be
less than 2000.
Searching and playback will be more responsive if the number of
fi
les in
any one folder is limited. (we suggest not more than 250).
It is recommended that the memory device is reformatted in your computer
before adding your music
fi
les.
The maximum depth of folder nesting permitted is 8 directory levels (but
playback is only from the currently selected folder).
Inserting and removing a card
To insert an SD card into your CD cassette recorder, push the card label
side facing towards you and gold contacts
fi
rst into the SD card slot on
the top of your CD radio cassette recorder until it clicks.
To remove the card, push the card in slightly and it will pop out allowing
removal.
