SD CARD AND USB MODE
Secure Digital (SD or SDHC) cards can be used with the device for playback of MP3 or WMA files.
SD or SDHC cards up to 16GB are supported. However, there are many different cards variants avail-
able and not all cards can be guaranteed to work in the device. SD or SDHC cards must be formatted
using the FAT or FAT32 filing system in order to operate with the device.
Playback control in SD card and USB mode is similar to CD MP3/WMA mode, please refer to CD mode.
MP3/WMA files are played back in the order that they are written to the SD card and USB memory
device by your computer, except when Random playback is selected.
