Listening to USB MP3 Songs
The USB Port on the front panel of the Rise & Shine
®
is used to listen to MP3
audio fi les on USB Flash Drives, also known as “Thumb Drives.”
Your Rise & Shine can play MP3 audio on all standard USB Drives, regardless of
memory capacity. As with SD Cards, there are limits of not more than 800 MP3
fi les and not more than 100 directories (or “folders”) per USB Drive.
Files on USB Drives can be placed in folders and subfolders before being copied
to a USB Drive. This directory structure is maintained on the USB Drive, but
nested folders are displayed “fl attened” to a single column, not shown as nested
sub-directories.
Note: Only MP3 fi les can be played and only directories containing MP3 fi les will
be displayed.
Inserting a USB Device
Insert a USB Flash Drive or other USB device into the USB Port on the front panel.
As with CD and DVD discs, USB Drives have a proper “up” side. If the USB Drive
doesn’t insert easily don’t force it. Flip it over and try again. There should only be a
slight resistance as you insert the drive into the port.
Choosing and Playing a MP3
1. Turn the Audio Input Selector to USB.
2. The display will show SEARCHING then LOADING as it reads the USB
memory.
3. When the contents of the USB Drive are read, the display shows the USB fi le
structure.
If the MP3 fi les were copied directly to the USB Drive, without being fi rst placed in
folders, the display will show:
USB MEMORY
ROOT
ROOT will be highlighted.
4. Press the Selector Button to open the default ROOT folder and display the fi les
on the USB Drive.
5. Use the Rotary Selector Control to highlight an MP3 fi le.
6. Press the Rotary Selector Control to choose the fi le.
The display returns to the Time/Date display. The MP3 fi le begins to play and the
fi le’s title is shown at the bottom of the display.
If the MP3 fi les were contained in folders before being copied to the USB Drive,
the folder names will be displayed.
