Transferring Songs in a
USB Device
You can transfer songs on an audio CD in a USB
device by encoding to MP3 format. You can also
transfer the MP3 files on a DATA CD/DATA
DVD into the USB device.
For connecting the USB device, see
“Connecting the USB device” (page 61).
The transferred music is limited to private use
only. Use of the music beyond this limit requires
permission of the copyright holders.
Notes on transferring into USB
• Do not connect the control unit and the USB
device through a USB hub.
• Make sure there is enough space in the USB
device for transferring.
• Do not remove the USB device during transfer.
• When you are transferring tracks from a CD,
the tracks are transferred as 128 kbps MP3
files.
• When you are transferring MP3 files from a
DATA CD/DATA DVD, the MP3 files are
transferred with the same bit rate as the
original MP3 files.
• CD text information is not transferred in the
created MP3 files.
• If you stop a transferring partway, an MP3 file
whose transfer was stopped halfway is deleted.
• Transferring stops automatically if:
– The USB device runs out of space during
transfer.
– The number of MP3 files on the USB
device reaches the limit for the number that
the system can recognize.
• You can transfer up to 150 files in a folder.
• You can transfer up to 199 folders in a single
USB device.
• 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.
• Some USB devices cannot be played back on
the system depending on the file format.
