Additional instructions
Additional instructions for the mass storage device (MSD):•Only external data devices or USB mass storage devices complying with 
the USB 2.0 specification can be used.•Partition of an external data device shall be in accordance with the file 
system, FAT16 (< 2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table).•MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) players, recognised by the commercial

ready to play.•When playing large capacity hard discs with several files and a complex 
data structure (several folders and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) it may 
take some time to read the audio files. The reaction time may also be influ-
enced by the connected device.•The structure of the folders in the external data device shall not exceed a 
depth of eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1,000 
entries.
•The use of USB cable extensions and USB hubs may cause operating 
errors.•If an external data device is divided into various partitions, only the first 
partition with compatible audio files will be played.•Memory card adapters can not be used, their use may cause operating 
errors.•If an MP3 player is updated via the manufacturer (firmware update) this 
may lead to operating errors.•An external data device should be connected first or select the corre-
sponding data mode.•Compatible formats include: MP3, WMA, OGG-Vorbis, AAC.•Please refer to the respective manufacturer's manual for instructions on 
the operation of the external data medium.

Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a 
certain order of play. If a playlist is not played, check whether the “route data” 
is correct, that is, whether the MP3 files are stored in the data device to which 
the playlist refers.
