A USB Mass Storage device such
as a pen drive or a portable USB
hard drive can be connected to the
USB port to record media contents,
such as compressed audio files
from the USB storage device onto
the HDD. The USB port is located in
the center console bin, between the
Accessory Power Outlet (APO)
socket and the auxiliary input jack.
In addition to recording the content
from the USB storage device,
content can be played back directly
from the USB device.
If the content of a USB device is
chosen to be copied, these media
files are copied to the hard drive.
The recording process occurs in the
background and does not affect
playback from any source, including
the USB device itself. The quality of
the listening experience should be
the same whether recording in the
background or not, and the speed of
the recording process does not take
any longer than normal.
Timeshift cannot be activated during
the background recording function.
