USING THE USB DEVICE
To use an external USB device,
make sure the device is not con-
nected when starting up the
vehicle. Connect the device after
starting up.
If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may
damage the USB device. (USB
flashdrives are very sensitive to
electric shock.)
If the engine is started up or turned off while the external USB
device is connected, the external
USB device may not work.
The System may not play unau- thenticated MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate between
8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression rate
between 8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
Take precautions for static elec- tricity when connecting or discon-
necting the external USB device.
(Continued)(Continued)
An encrypted MP3 PLAYER is
not recognizable.
Depending on the condition of the external USB device, the
connected external USB device
can be unrecognizable.
When the formatted byte/sector setting of External USB device is
not either 512BYTE or
2048BYTE, then the device will
not be recognized.
Use only a USB device format- ted to FAT 12/16/32.
USB devices without USB I/F authentication may not be recog-
nizable.
Make sure the USB connection terminal does not come in con-
tact with the human body or
other objects.
If you repeatedly connect or dis- connect the USB device in a
short period of time, it may break
the device.
(Continued)(Continued)
You may hear a strange noise
when connecting or disconnect-
ing a USB device.
If you disconnect the external USB device during playback in
USB mode, the external USB
device can be damaged or may
malfunction. Therefore, discon-
nect the external USB device
when the audio is turned off or in
another mode. (e.g, Radio, CD)
Depending on the type and capacity of the external USB
device or the type of the files
stored in the device, there is a
difference in the time taken for
recognition of the device.
Do not use the USB device for purposes other than playing
music files.
Playing videos through the USB is not supported.
Use of USB accessories such as rechargers or heaters using USB
I/F may lower performance or
cause trouble.

etc.) or external-HDD type
devices can be unrecognizable.
Music files protected by DRM (DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGE-
MENT) are not recognizable.
The data in the USB memory may be lost while using this
audio. Always back up important
data on a personal storage
device.
Please avoid using USB memory prod-
ucts which can be
used as key chains or
cellular phone acces-
sories as they could cause dam-
age to the USB jack. Please
make certain only to use plug
type connector products.(Continued)
If you use devices such as a USBhub purchased separately, the
vehicle’s audio system may not
recognize the USB device. In that
case, connect the USB device
directly to the multimedia terminal
of the vehicle.
If the USB device is divided by log- ical drives, only the music files on
the highest-priority drive are rec-
ognized by car audio.
Devices such as MP3 Player/ Cellular phone/Digital camera can
be unrecognizable by standard
