BANK Function

What is a Bank?
A bank is a unit of up to 1,000 songs, which is stored in memory.
"Banking" refers to the grouping of songs available in Flash
Memory, in banks of 1,000 songs each.
About Banking
While a bank is being built up, "Banking" is displayed. Banking
occurs whenever a Flash Memory device is connected or after
power to the head unit turns on.
It can take anywhere from a few seconds to up to several
minutes for banking to complete. This depends on the number
of files and folders in Flash Memory.
Available operations while Banking
• Search functions, such as album search or tag information
(artist display, etc.) are available during the banking process.
However, during such time, tag information display changes.
• Regular fast-forwarding and next song selection are
available.
• During Banking, the played back song order may differ from
the song order in Flash memory.
This unit has the BANK function that automatically divides every 1,000
songs stored in Flash memory into individual banks to make searching
and playing back a song easier. A maximum of 1,000 songs for one
bank can be stored according to the order stored in Flash memory. A
maximum of 20 banks (20,000 songs) can be recognized. BANK1
(songs 1 to 1,000) is set as the default. If you want to search beyond
1,000 songs, perform the following operation to select a different bank.
