< CAUTION: When music files are being played through a USB

cause problems with the operations of the personal computer. Exit
the music playback software on your PC before performing these
operations.

< When playing a music file via a USB connection, the sounds of
personal computer operations are also played. To prevent these
sounds from being played, change the sound settings on the
personal computer.
< Depending on the operation environment of the personal
computer, it may not be possible to maintain the USB data transfer
speed. This may interrupt playback or cause noise. Furthermore,
starting other applications during music file playback may interrupt
playback or cause noise.
< If the music playback software is started before this unit and the
personal computer are connected, or the input of this unit is set
to "USB in" before connection, music files may not be played back
correctly. If this occurs, restart the music playback software or the
personal computer.
< To prevent the USB input from negatively influencing sound quality
when an input source other than USB is used, the default "USB_PW"
setting is "OFF". This setting switches off the power to the USB input
circuit. When you want to continually maintain a USB connection
with a personal computer, set "USB_PW" to "ON" (page 23).
When this setting is "ON", the USB input circuit is always operating.
The USB connection is maintained, even when the input is changed
to a setting other than "USB in".
