VERY IMPORTANT SD CARD AND USB INFORMATION: When using an SD Card, USB stick, USB
Card Reader, or compatible External Hard Drive*:
• Make sure your SD Card, USB Stick, or Hard Drive* has only MP3 files on it. There cannot
be any other type of files on your media device, NO WAV files, photo files, etc...
• The Media Operator™ is compatible with all SD and SDHC Cards (SDHC up to 32GB only)
• The Media Operator™ can read Mp3 format files only.
• Only external hard drives* with external power supplies are supported. When using an ex-
ternal hard drive, if you switch the Media Operator "Off" and then back "On" again you
will need to disconnect and then reconnect your external hard drive USB plug. If you do
not do this the Media Operator will not detect your connected hard drive.
• If you are using a SD Card via USB card reader, you must remove the USB card reader
first to change SD Card's. Please do not remove the SD Card from the USB card reader
while the USB card reader is still connected to the Media Operator.
PLEASE NOTE:
For higher quality MP3 files (more than 128 kbps) American Audio recommends "High Speed" SD
Cards. Using high speed cards will ensure the best performance with your Media Operator™.
*Not all external hard drives with external power supplies are compatible with the Media
Operator™.
