manual as “audio files”.
Audio files on an external data medium connected to the MEDIA-IN multi-
media interface can be played and controlled via the radio system.
Where this manual refers to external data media, this means USB mass
storage devices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players,
iPods
® and USB sticks. External data media are displayed as MDI (Media
Device Interface) on the radio system.
The MEDIA-IN multi-media interface supplies the usual USB voltage of 5 volts.
