Caution
• Be sure to turn the player's power off before
connecting or disconnecting USB devices.
• Use empty USB devices (on which nothing is stored).
• When using an external hard disk as the external
storage device, be sure to turn on the hard disk's
power before turning on the player's power.
• If the USB device is write-protected, be sure to disable
the write-protection.
• When connecting the USB cable, hold onto the plug,
set the plug in the proper direction for the port and
insert it horizontally.
• Placing excessive loads on the plug may result in
poor contact, making it impossible to write data on
the USB device.
• When a USB device is connected and the player's
power is turned on, do not unplug the power cord.
