About Banking
While a bank is being built up, “Banking” is displayed. Banking occurs 
whenever a USB Memory device/Portable audio player is connected or 
after power to the head unit turns on.
It can take anywhere from a few seconds to up to several minutes for 
banking to complete. This depends on the number of files and folders 
in USB Memory/Portable audio player.
Available operations while Banking
• During Banking, the information display changes so the VIEW 
operation is not available.
• With a song playing, Regular fast-forwarding and next song selection is 
available.
• While Banking, the song playback order may differ from the song order 
in the USB Memory device/Portable audio player.
• Searching is not recommended during the Banking process as the 
database is under construction at this time, and malfunction may result 
in some cases.
This unit has a BANK function that automatically divides every 1,000 
songs stored in USB Memory/Portable audio player into individual 
banks to make searching and playing back a song easier. A maximum of 
1,000 songs for one bank can be stored according to the order stored in 
USB Memory/Portable audio player. A maximum of 20 banks (20,000 
songs) can be recognized.
