The USB port (1.5A) is for charging devices,
playing audio files and connecting compatible

uTo prevent any potenti al issues, be sure

If the audio system does not recognize the iPod, try
reconnecting it a few times or reboot the device. To
reboot, follow the manufac turer’s instructions
provided with the iPod or visit www.apple.com/ipod.
The USB port can supply up to 1.0A/1.5A of power. It
does not output 1.0A/1.5A unless requested by the
