Turn the Rotary encoder to select a desired song, artist or album, and press the Rotary encoder.
If searching by song is chosen at this step, it will directly play the selected song. You do not need to perform the next step.
If two USB memories are connected at the same time, the system will automatically merge the song categories in both USB memories.

Turn the Rotary encoder to choose a song of the selected folder, artist or album, and press the Rotary encoder.
Start to play back the selected song.

Searching may be slow if many songs are stored in USB/MTP.
About MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/APE
CAUTION
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/APE data) or distributing, transferring, or
copying it, whether for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by
international treaty.
What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG Audio Layer 3”, is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO (the International Standardization Organization) and
MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC. MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing audio data at extremely
high ratios, reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format
realizes such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.
What is WMA?
WMA or “Windows Media™ Audio” is compressed audio data. WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.
What is AAC?
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding” and a basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.
What is WAV?
WAV is an audio file format developed by Microsoft Corporation, and conforms to RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format) file specification. It is used to
store audio information resources of the Windows platform and is widely supported by Windows platform and its applications. The WAV format supports
various compression algorithms such as MSADPCM and CCITT A LAW. It supports multiple audio bits, sampling rates and channels. The standard format
WAV file is the same as the CD format. It is also a 44.1 kHz sampling frequency with 16 quantized bits. Therefore, WAV format sound file quality is almost the
same as CD. As this is the most lossless music format, the file size is relatively large.
What is FLAC?
FLAC is a lossless audio compression encoding format. FLAC is a set of famous free lossless audio codec characterized by lossless compression. Different
from other lossy compression encoding formats such as MP3 and AAC, this format does not damage any original audio information.
What is APE?
APE is one of the popular lossless compression formats for digital music. Different from MP3, a lossy compression format that irreversibly deletes data
(insensitive to human hearing) to reduce the size of source file, APE is a lossless compression format that reduces file size by a more refined way of recording,
and restored data are the same as source file, thus guarantee the completeness of file.
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/APE (USB Drive) files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/APE codec. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/APE files,
refer to the user’s manual for that software. MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/APE (USB Drive) files that are playable on this device have the file extensions as
below:
MP3: “mp3”
WMA: “wma”
AAC: “m4a”
WAV: “wav”
FLAC: “flac”
APE: “ape”
Files with no extension cannot be played back. WMA Lossless and WMA Professional files are not supported. Protected files are not supported. Neither are
