connecting USB storage devices such as ash drives, MP3
players and external hard drives.
While this player is capable of connecting to and loading mu-
sic from most types of USB storagedevices and MP3 players,
we can not guarantee playbackfrom all such devices due to
the varying nature of the devices and their storage methods,

CONST ANT BIT RA TE (CBR) vs. V ARIABLE BIT RA TE (VBR)
MP3: Files are created (Encoded) using two basic methods,
Constant Bit Rate (CBR) andV ariable BitRate (VBR). VBRles
while saving some space, are decoded on-the-y , causing a
slight lag or stutter when setting a CUE point. They can also
cause a slight skip during playback if the units memory buffer
is over run. CBR les, conversely , take up a little more room
but are quick to processwhich means no lag in CUE setting
or playback.
VBR les can easily be converted to CBR using any com-
merciallyavailableMP3rippingsoftwar e.
