USB flash driveTo simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is
advisable to only store music files on the drive.
It will take considerably longer for the system
to index the files on the drive if it contains any-
thing other than compatible music files.
NOTE
•The system supports removable media
that uses the USB 2.0 standard and the
FAT32 file system and can index up to
500 folders and a maximum of 64,000
files. The device must have at least 256
Mb of memory.
•When using a longer type of USB flash
drive, connecting it with a USB adapter
cable will help reduce mechanical wear
on the USB socket and the USB flash
drive.
