If pressing the [Play/Pause] button does not elicit a response while using a USB device, it may be caused by issues with the connected media, the device itself, or its settings. Try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Cause: The USB device may not be properly connected or recognized by the unit.
Solution: Disconnect the USB device, wait a few moments, and reconnect it securely. Ensure that the USB drive is formatted correctly (e.g., FAT16/FAT32) and contains supported file types.
Cause: The file or format on the USB drive may not be supported by the unit.
Solution: Verify that the media files are in supported formats (e.g., MP3, WMA). Refer to the "Notes on USB Devices" section in the Operating Manual for detailed compatibility information.
Cause: Temporary glitches in the unit’s operation may prevent the button from working.
Solution: Turn the unit off and back on. If the issue persists, disconnect the power source for a few minutes, then reconnect and power on the unit.
Cause: The USB device or its contents may be corrupted.
Solution: Test the USB device on another system to confirm it functions correctly. If the device appears corrupted, back up and reformat it.
By following these steps, you should be able to address the issue of the [Play/Pause] button not responding while using USB devices.
