Important
• Pioneer cannot guarantee compatibility (operation and/or
bus power) with all USB mass storage devices and
assumes no responsibility for any loss of data that may
occur when connected to this receiver.
Note
• This includes playback of WMA/MP3/MPEG-4 AAC files
(except files with copy-protection or restricted playback).

drives, portable flash memory (particularly keydrives) and
digital audio players (MP3 players) of format FAT16/32. It
is not possible to connect this receiver to a personal
computer for USB playback.

receiver to read the contents of a USB device.
• If the file selected cannot be played back, this receiver
automatically skips to the next file playable.
• When the file currently being played back has no title
assigned to it, the file name is displayed in the OSD
instead; when neither the album name nor the artist
name is present, the row is displayed as a blank space.

displayed as '*'.
• Make sure the receiver is in standby when disconnecting
the USB device.
