"BANKING" refers to the grouping of songs available in USB Memory, in
banks of 1,000 songs each. However, unless the following estimates are
followed, the total number of songs stored could be less.
Playlists: 20 (32 characters; 64 bytes)

About Banking
While a bank is being built up, "BANKING" is displayed. Banking occurs
whenever a USB 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 USB Memory.
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 USB Memory device.
• Searching is not recommended during the Banking process as the
database is under construction at this time, and malfunction may result
in some cases.
This unit has a BANK function that automatically divides every 1,000
songs stored in USB 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 USB Memory. A
maximum of 20 banks (20,000 songs) can be recognised.
