Elapsed time

 

Switch the receiver off, then on again.

Reconnect the USB device with the receiver switched off.

Select another input source (like DVD), then switch back to iPod USB.

Use a dedicated AC adapter (supplied with the device) for USB power.

If this doesn’t remedy the problem, it is likely your USB device is incompatible.

Note

1This includes playback of WMA/MP3/MPEG-4 AAC files (except files with copy-protection or restricted playback).

2• Compatible USB devices include external magnetic hard drives, portable flash memory (particularly keydrives) and digital audio players (MP3 players) of format FAT16/32. It is not possible to connect this receiver to a personal computer for USB playback.

Pioneer cannot guarantee compatibility (operation and/or bus power) with all USB mass storage devices and assumes no responsibility for any loss of data that may occur when connected to this receiver.

With large amounts of data, it may take longer for the receiver to read the contents of a USB device.

3Make sure the receiver is in standby when disconnecting the USB device.

4• If the file selected cannot be played back, this receiver automatically skips to the next file playable.

When the file currently being played back has no title assigned to it, the file name is displayed in the OSD instead; when neither the album name nor the artist name is present, the row is displayed as a blank space.

Note that non-roman characters in the playlist are displayed as #.

It is not possible to output the USB audio to ZONE 2.

5• If this error occurs, playback is interrupted and the next playable file is played automatically.

This error may occur if the title information is changed on a computer, etc.
