USB DEVICE INSTRUCTIONS

Connecting a USB Device

The USB 1 and USB 2 inputs are located at the rear of the radio

body. The USB cables must be routed to a convenient and

accessible location for connecting USB devices.

Once you’ve turned on your radio and connected your ash drive,

iPod

/iPhone

or supported USB device to one of the USB inputs, the

radio will display USB 1 or USB 2 for three seconds. Then the radio will

nd your songs and automatically begin playing them.

The icon appears on the LCD during USB playback.

About MP3/WMA/FLAC Files

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3),WMA (Windows Media Audio) and FLAC (Free Lossless Audio

Codec) is a format for compressed audio les. When your radio is in USB mode (USB 1 or

USB 2), you can play MP3 and unprotected (no DRM) WMA les on a ash drive.

Common facts about these compressed-sound formats:

• High bit rate and high sampling frequencies are

recommended for high sound quality.

• Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not recommended because playing

time is not displayed properly and there may be some audible skipping

artifacts. The playback sound quality differs depending on the encoding

circumstances. For details, refer to the user manual of your encoding software.

• When adding MP3 les to your ash drive, it is recommended

to set the bit rate to “xed” at 128 kbps or better.

• When adding WMA les to your ash drive, it is recommended to

set the bit rate to “xed” at 64 kbps. Do not set the copy protect

attribute on the WMA le or you will not be able to play the track.

• Motor 4 will read only FAT or FAT32 formatted ash drives.

This radio will NOT read NTFS formatted drives.

• Motor 4 will read les placed in the root directory rst before

playing les in the folder structure of the drive.

• Motor 4 will play your MP3 or WMA les in the same order that you

copy them to your USB device – the les copied rst will play rst.
