conditions. Otherwise, the number of songs that can be stored may be
less than 1,000.

About Banking
While a bank is being built up, "BANKING" is displayed. Banking occurs
whenever a Flash Memory device/Portable audio player 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/Portable audio player.
Available operations while Banking
• During Banking, the information display changes so the VIEW
operation is not available.
• With a song playing, Regular fast-forwarding and next song selection is
available.
• While Banking, the song playback order may differ from the song order
in the Flash Memory device/Portable audio player.
• Searching is not recommended during the Banking process as the
database is under construction at this time, and malfunction may result
in some cases.
