How to connect and play an iPod?

How to play MP3 files from a USB flash drive?

Plug your USB device (FAT16/32 format, max 500 mA) into the USB MEMORY jack. Select the USB source. Use the PRESET UP/DOWN buttons to navigate between groups (folders) and tracks. Random playback is not available for files on USB.

What to do if the unit does not turn on?

Check that the AC adapter is properly connected or that the batteries are inserted with correct polarity. If the unit still does not respond, disconnect the adapter and remove the batteries for a few minutes, then reconnect. If the problem persists, consult a qualified technician.

How to use the QP Link (Quick Portable Link) function?

The QP Link function automatically switches the source to LINE IN when playback starts on a connected device. To activate it, press QPLINK until QP LINK ON is displayed. Make sure the external device's volume is sufficient for the unit to detect the signal.
