Introduction
The supported file formats listed below are collectively referred to in this
manual as audio files.
Audio files on an external data medium connected to the MEDIA-IN multime-
dia interface can be played and controlled via the radio system.

age devices containing supported audio files, such as MP3 players, iPods ®
and USB sticks. External data media are displayed as MDI (Media Device In-
terface) on the radio system.
The MEDIA-IN multimedia interface supplies the usual USB voltage of 5
volts.
