Page 28

If a song is playing on the iPod when it is connected to the VPA-B222, it will continue playing after the connection.

If the artist, album or song name, created in iTunes, has too many characters, songs may not be played back when connected to the adapter. Therefore, a maximum of 250 characters is recommended. The maximum number of characters for the head unit is 64 (64 byte).

Some characters may not be correctly displayed.

“NO SUPPORT” is displayed when text information is not compatible with the VPA-B222.

Searching for a desired Song

An iPod can contain hundreds to thousands of songs. By keeping these songs organized in smaller playlists, the VPA-B222 has the ability to ease song searches.

During shuffle (M.I.X.) playback, this operation is not possible.
