Notes

•Do not connect the system and the USB device through an USB hub.

•When transferring from an AUDIO CD, the tracks are transferred as 128 kbps MP3 files. When transferring from an MP3 disc, MP3 files are transferred with the same bit rate as the original MP3 files.

•When transferring from a source other than disc, the files are transferred as 128 kbps MP3 files.

•While transferring from an MP3 disc, no sound is output.

•CD-TEXT information is not transferred in the created MP3 files.

•If you cancel the transferring partway, an MP3 file is created up to the point when the transferring was stopped.

•Transferring stops automatically if:

–the USB device runs out of space during transferring.

–the number of audio files on the USB device reaches the limit for the number that the system can recognize.

–the function or tuner band is changed.

•Up to 999 audio files or 997 folders can be transferred on a single USB device.

The maximum number of audio files and folders may vary depending on the audio file and folder structure.

•If a folder or file that you are trying to transfer already exists on the USB device with the same name, a sequential number is added after the name without overwriting the original folder or file.

•Do not remove the USB device during transferring or erase operations. Doing so may corrupt the data on the USB device or damage the USB device itself.

•You cannot eject the disc, select another disc, track or file, pause playback or find a point in the track or file during CD-USB Synchronized Transfer or REC1 Transferring.
