Playback

Playing a USB Device

In these Operating Instructions, "iPod" is used as a
general reference for the iPod functions on an iPod
and iPhone, unless otherwise specified by the text
or illustrations.
For details on the compatibility of your iPod, see
"About iPod" (page 20) or visit the support site on
the back cover.
MSC (Mass Storage Class)-type USB devices (such as
a USB flash drive, digital media player, Android
smartphone) compliant with the USB standard can
be used.
Depending on the digital media player or Android
smartphone, setting the USB connection mode to
MSC is required. (A USB device in MTP mode is not
available.)
"Music" folder and its location (when
connecting the USB device)
Be sure to store audio files in a folder named
"Music", and organize the folder directly under the
root directory of the USB device. Otherwise the unit
will not recognize audio files on the device.
Notes
 For details on the compatibility of your USB device,
visit the support site on the back cover.
 During USB playback, fast-forward/fast-reverse
operation is not supported.
 The unit starts reading the file structure of the
connected device when playback is performed.
 [*] appears on the display while the unit is reading the
file structure of the connected device. While [*] is
displayed, a track or album (folder) cannot be
skipped.
 During USB playback via the USB type-A port, a DSD
file on the connected device is converted into PCM
format.
 Playback of the following files is not supported.
WMA/AAC:
 copyright-protected files
 DRM (Digital Rights Management) files
WMA:
 lossless compression files
 multi-channel audio files
 As a guide, recognizing a total of 2,000 audio files in
200 folders on the USB device takes about 150
seconds.
 The unit may take some time to recognize the USB
device if its file organization has been updated.
 Before connecting the USB device, be sure to select
USB1 or USB2. If a USB device with updated file
structure is connected while the unit and the display
are off, or without selecting USB1 or USB2, the unit will
not recognize the latest file organization of the

device.

Caution for iPhone
When you connect an iPhone via USB, phone call

when the call ends.
