Transferring Songs in a 
USB Device
You can transfer songs on an audio CD in a USB 
device by encoding to MP3 format. You can also 
transfer the MP3 files on a DATA CD/DATA 
DVD into the USB device.
For connecting the USB device, see 
“Connecting the USB device” (page 61).
The transferred music is limited to private use 
only. Use of the music beyond this limit requires 
permission of the copyright holders.
Notes on transferring into USB
 Do not connect the control unit and the USB 
device through a USB hub.
 Make sure there is enough space in the USB 
device for transferring.
