Operation Description
Connect the USB stick or USB–A plug of the device to be connected
to the USB socket (9) of the SA-96. This can be done at any time,
even if another input (3) has been selected. The now following
registering procedure is performed automatically. If a suitable device is
connected, then the LED "DISK" (4) lights up. First all directories and
their subdirectories will be searched for files with the suffix ".mp3".
If at least one suitable file is found, the display "MP3" (5) lights up.
Plug in the
USB storage medium
Please note that a search will be performed only for files with an
".mp3" suffix and no check will be made on whether such files are
valid MP3 files. Files wrongly marked with the "MP3" file extension
will be played without sound.
It is only after the search procedure that pressing the "PLAY/PAUSE"
button (1) activates the start of playback. The LED "PLAY" (6) is lit
during playback. In order to be able to hear the current playback of
the MP3 files through headphones or connected end amplifiers, the
input "USB" must be selected on the "INPUT" input selection dial (3).
The files stored on the main directory of the storage medium are
