Using USB memory devices
This section describes how to use your sound system to access and
playback your audio files via USB memory devices.
USB memory devices plug into the rectangular slot on the front of the
sound system on the right hand side.
Important: Your sound system is only designed to work with USB flash
memory devices. It is not intended to be connected to hard disk drives or
any other type of USB device.
It is possible to use SD or SDHC cards for media storage and playback
when held in a suitable USB adaptor. However, due to the wide variation
of such adaptors, it is not possible to guarantee that all adaptor / card
combinations will work in the sound system.
The Stream 83i sound system has been tested with a range of USB memory
devices of up to 16GB capacity. USB memory must use the FAT or FAT 32
filing system in order to operate with the sound system.
Audio formats supported are MP3, WMA, AAC and FLAC. USB playback
does not support files encoded using WMA Lossless, WMA Voice, WMA 10
Professional, nor files which have DRM protection.
Recommendations:
Unless you have only a few files on the USB memory device, do not
place all files in the root folder.
The number of items (files/sub directories) in any directory should be
less than 2000.
Searching and playback will be more responsive if the number of files
in any one folder is limited (we suggest not more than 250).
It is recommended that the USB memory is reformatted in your computer
before adding your music files.
The maximum depth of folder nesting permitted is 8 directory levels
(but playback is only from the currently selected folder).
Cautions:
In order to minimise the risk of damage to your sound system or your
USB memory, please place the unit such that the memory device
cannot easily be knocked while it is inserted in the socket.
Remove the USB memory before carrying the unit or if not using the
USB feature for a prolonged period.
Place the unit in Standby mode before removing your USB memory
device.
