Compatible USB Devices

■ USB storage devices and digital audio
players
The CD/HDD receiver supports the USB storage devices
such as USB flash memory and USB hard disk drive, and
also supports various kinds of digital audio players.
However, they are limited to the devices that support the
USB Mass Storage Class*.
* The USB Mass Storage Class is a standard established for con-
necting the large capacity memory devices (mass storage
devices) to the USB port of a computer. Because the USB
devices conforming to this standard are recognized as external
memory devices without the need for special drivers or soft-
ware, even a digital audio player can be handled in the same way
as an external memory device.
Notes:
• For the functions of USB devices, see their instruction
manuals.
• Recording and transferring cannot be performed between
the CD/HDD receiver
can be performed.
• When the AC power adapter is attached to the digital
audio player or the USB storage device, Onkyo recom-
mend that you connect the AC power adapter to the
domestic power supply. When using the batteries, check
that the remaining battery level is sufficient. Please note
that Onkyo is not responsible for the malfunctions,
recording failures, or music data damages resulting from
insufficient battery power.
• Onkyo accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss
or damage to data stored on a USB mass storage device
when that device is used with the CD/HDD receiver.
Onkyo recommend that you back up your important
music files beforehand.
• Recording may be slow depending on the USB device.
• If many tracks are stored in the USB flash memory
(approx. 60,000 files or more), it may take some time for
the recording operation.
• When you record to an SD memory card using a memory
card reader/writer, you may not be able to record depend-
ing on the memory card because the access time is too
slow.
