• 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.
