Media Devices

NOTE

Avoid using these characters in naming media files: . : ? “ < > | / *

The radio supports various types of USB and Bluetooth-connected media devices. As a general guideline, support for devices is listed in Table 1. Some features or menus may not be available depending on device, file type or connection type.

For mass storage devices (such as USB drives), the file organization on the device can impact performance. For best performance and indexing of files, store media files at the root directory of the USB device, rather than in multiple levels of folders.
