Using USB memory devices

This section describes how to use your radio to access and playback your audio files via USB

memory devices. USB memory devices plug into the rectangular slot located beneath the touch

screen.

Important:

Your radio is only designed to work with USB flash memory devices. It is not intended to be

connected to hard disk drives or any other type of USB device.

The WFR-2D radio has been tested with a range of USB memory devices of up to 64GB capacity.

USB memory must use the FAT or FAT 32 filing system in order to operate with the radio. It is

possible to use SD or SDHC cards for media storage and playback when held in a suitable USB

adaptor. However, due to the wide variation of such adaptors, it is not possible to guarantee that

all adaptor / card combinations will work in the radio.

Audio formats supported are MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC and WAV. USB playback does not support

files encoded using WMA lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10 Professional, nor files of any format

which have DRM protection.

Recommendations:

Unless you have only a few files on the USB memory device, do not place all files in the root

folder. The number of items (files/sub directories) in any directory should be less than 2000.

Searching and playback will be more responsive if the number of files in any one folder is limited

(we suggest not more than 250). It is recommended that the USB memory is reformatted in your

computer before adding your music files. The maximum depth of folder nesting permitted is 8

directory levels (but playback is only from the currently selected folder).

Cautions:

In order to minimise the risk of damage to your radio or your USB memory, please place the unit

such that the memory device cannot easily be knocked while it is inserted in the socket.

Remove the USB memory before carrying the unit or if not using the USB feature for a prolonged

period. Place the unit in Standby mode before removing your USB memory device.

Note:

Shuffle and Playlist functions are limited to 500 tracks.
