the repeat/shue modes for USB playback. The
options are as follows:
1. Repeat all: the les on the USB drive are
played in order. After the last track has nished,
playback re-starts from the rst track on the
drive;
2. Shue: the tracks on the drive are played in a
random order;
3. Repeat shue: this combines ‘repeat all’ and
‘shue’. Each time that playback is restarted, the
le order is shued.
To cancel any of the shue/repeat modes, press
MODE repeatedly until the playback mode is
removed from the display.

2. Remaining track time: this shows the track time
that remains to be played.
3. Track name only
4. File format (e.g. MP3) and bitrate

appear as a single ‘Removable Disk’ when connected to a computer. USB hard disk drives can be connected, but
the drive must have a separate power supply and be formatted as a single FAT32 partition. USB devices that do
not conform to this standard cannot be used. Arcam cannot guarantee operation with hard disk drives.
