may greatly slow down access to reading
the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the
catalogue time). Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
When I connect my iPhone as a telephone and
to the USB port at the same time, I am unable to

period without sound of the track being played
with Apple

c o r r e c t l y. The audio system does not display some types
of character.
