The system supports USB mass storage
devices, BlackBerry® devices or Apple® players
via the USB ports. The adapter cable is not
supplied.
Devices are managed using the audio system
controls.
Other devices, not recognised on connection,
must be connected to the auxiliary socket using
a jack cable (not supplied) or via Bluetooth
streaming, if compatible.
Once connected in Streaming mode, the
smartphone is considered to be a media
source.
Auxiliary (AUX) jack socket
Depending on equipment
Connect a portable device (MP3 player,
etc.) to the auxiliary jack socket using an
audio cable (not supplied).
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input"

It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other file types (".mp4", etc.) can be read.
All ".wma" files must be standard WMA 9 files.
The supported sampling rates are 11, 22, 44 and
48 KHz.
To avoid reading and display problems, we
recommend choosing file names less than 20
characters long that do not contain any special
characters (e.g. “ ? . ; ù).
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT32 format
(File Allocation Table).
The classifications available are those of
the portable device connected (artists/
albums/genres/playlists/audio books/
podcasts). It is also possible to use a
classification structured in the form of a
library.
The default classification used is by artist. To
modify the classification used, return to the
