• When a device containing MP3 or WMA files is connected, all files in

MP3 or WMA file is played. To make the file check finish more
quickly, we recommend that you do not include any files other than
MP3 or WMA files or create any unnecessary folders.
• When the USB memory is connected and the audio source is changed
to USB memory mode, the USB memory will start playing the first file
in the first folder. If the same device is removed and reinserted (and the
contents have not been changed), the USB memory will resume play
from the same point in which it was last used.
