Transferring Songs onto 
a USB Device
You can transfer songs on an audio CD or radio 
programs* onto a USB device by encoding to 
MP3 format. You can also transfer MP3 files on 
a DATA CD/DATA DVD onto a USB device.
For connecting the USB device, see “Playing 
Files on a Disc/USB Device” (page 31).
The transferred music is limited to private use 
only. Use of the music beyond this limit requires 
permission of the copyright holders.
* Except for North American models
Notes on USB transferring
 Do not connect the unit and the USB device 
through a USB hub.
 Make sure there is enough space in the USB 
device for transferring.
 Do not remove the USB device during 
transferring.
 When you are transferring tracks from an 
audio CD, the tracks are recorded as 128 kbps 
MP3 files.
 When you are transferring MP3 files from a 
DATA CD/DATA DVD, the MP3 files are 
transferred with the same bit rate as the 
original MP3 files.
 When you are transferring a radio program, the 
audio is recorded as a 128 kbps MP3 file 
(except for North American models).
 CD text information is not transferred in the 
created MP3 files.
 If you stop a transfer from an audio CD 
halfway, the MP3 file that was being created is 
deleted.
 Transferring stops automatically if:
– the USB device runs out of space during 
transfer.
– the number of folders on the USB device 
reaches the limit for the number that the 
system can recognize.
 You can store up to 150 files in a folder.
 You can store up to 199 folders in a single 
USB device. If a folder or file that you are trying to transfer 
already exists on the USB device with the 
same name, a sequential number is added after 
the name without overwriting the original 
folder or file.
To select the transfer destination 
of the USB device
You can select the memory number for transfer 
depending on the USB device.
Press MEM SEL.
Note When the memory cannot be selected, [Operation not 
possible.] appears on the TV screen.
 The memory number changes depending on the USB 
device.

Folder and file generation rules
When transferring onto a USB device, a 
“MUSIC” folder is created directly below the 
“ROOT”. Folders and files are generated within 
this “MUSIC” folder as follows according to the 
transferring method and source.
 When transferring multiple tracks on an audio 
CD or multiple MP3 files on a DATA CD/
DATA DVD
