MP3/WMA files

This unit can play MP3 and WMA files that are on CD-R/ CD-RW discs, SD cards, and external USB flash drives*. See the manual for the software that you are using when you create an MP3 or WMA file using a PC.

*The USB port on this unit only supports USB flash drives (also known as “thumb drives” and “jump drives”). It does not support standard USB hard drives.
