Using USB Flash Memory
• In order to play songs copied to a USB flash memory from a
computer or other device, the songs must be stored either in
the USB flash memory’s root directory or a first-level/second-
level folder in the root directory. Songs stored in these location
can be selected and played as USB song (page 28). Songs
stored in third-level-folders created inside a second-level folder
cannot be selected and played by this instrument.
