Notes on USB devices

• In order to keep the initialization time to a minimum, store only music data on a USB device.
• Approximately 10,000 tracks are supported. Multiple partitions should be used for larger numbers of tracks.
• Do not use USB extension leads or adapters. They can impair functionality.
• A background search of the USB device is performed and any playlists found are shown in a separate category in addition to the folders. Initialization of larger USB mass storage devices containing a large number of files may take several minutes.
