USB, MTP, and Apple Device Playback
You can connect various USB media players and smartphones to the stereo. For example, you can connect an
Android™ smartphone, a USB flash drive, or a compatible
Apple® device. How you access the USB source depends on which type of media player is connected. The stereo is designed to be used with one USB connection at a time. You must disconnect one USB device before connecting another.
NOTE:
If you connect an
Apple media player to the USB port on the stereo, you must either disable
Bluetooth® on the media player, or unpair the
Bluetooth connection from the stereo to avoid possible media-playback issues.

You can browse the music collection on the USB source using the categories the device supports, such as songs, albums, and artists on MTP and
Apple devices.
NOTE:
The
USB source does not support library browsing. You can browse the folder structure.
You can also browse the files according to the folder structure on your media player. For example, from the
iPod source, you can select
> Albums.
The availability of song information such as song title, artist name, track duration, and album cover artwork depends on the capability of the media player and music application.
NOTE:
Different operating systems and media players provide different levels of support for MTP. Go to
