USB playback

06

Switch the receiver off, then on again.

Reconnect the USB device with the receiver switched off.

Select another input source (like DVD/CD), then switch back to 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.
