Connect a USB mass storage device to this input. Typical USB
mass storage devices compatible with M12 include portable flash
memory devices and external hard drives (FAT32 formatted).
Refer also to the item about LISTENING TO USB DEVICE at the
OTHER FEATURES section of the OPERATION page.
These output terminals have dual function. They are used either as
ANALOG PRE-OUT or SUBWOOFER terminals.
Always turn OFF the M12 and associated external devices before
connecting or disconnecting anything to the ANALOG PRE-OUT/
SUB sockets.
The ANALOG PRE-OUT sockets can be used to drive an additional

corresponding analog audio input of compatible devices such as
amplifiers, receivers or other applicable devices.
ANALOG PRE-OUT will be affected by the M12's volume control
settings. Rotate the VOLUME control to adjust the output level of
the ANALOG PRE-OUT sockets.
Use a dual RCA cable to connect SUB to the low level input of a
powered subwoofer.
Low frequency information up to 200Hz is sent to the connected
subwoofer via SUBW1 or SUBW2.
Connect DIGITAL OUT (optical or coaxial) to the corresponding
digital audio input of compatible devices such as receivers,
