Check if the USB cable be ing used is securely
connected to the device and USB port.
Try connecting the smartphone directly to the

Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.
 This system can play
MP3/WMA/AAC files on USB
memory.

 When naming an
MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an
appropriate file extension
(.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
 This system plays back files
with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file
extensions as
MP3/WMA/AAC files respec-
tively. To prevent noise and
playback errors, use the
appropriate file extension.
 MP3 files are compatible with

mation such as track title and
artist name.
 The emphasis function is
available only when playing

ers that do not include
MP3/WMA/AAC files.

ers up to 8 levels deep can be
played. However, the start of
playback may be delayed
