This standby mode consumes less power than
when network standby is set to “On,” though the
system takes more time to resume operations when
powered on again.
• Network Standby - “On”
In this standby mode, the system is connected to
the network and remains partially active to quickly
resume operations when controlled over the
network, or powered on again. To set the network
standby mode, see “Setting the network standby
mode” (page 51).

not improve, try connecting an external antenna (not
supplied). Keep the antenna away from the power cord to
avoid picking up noise.

It may take about 10 seconds before “Reading” appears
depending on the type of USB device connected.
Do not connect the system and the USB device through
a USB hub.
When the USB device is connected, the system reads all
the files on the USB device. If there are many folders or

finish reading the USB device.
With some connected USB devices, after an operation
is performed, there may be a delay before it is

Compatibility with all encoding/writing software
cannot be guaranteed. If audio files on the USB device
were originally encoded with incompatible software,
those files may produce noise or interrupted audio, or
may not play at all.
This system cannot play audio files on the USB device
in the following cases:
– when the number of audio files in a folder exceeds
999.
– when the total number of audio files on a USB
device exceeds 999.
– when the number of folders on a USB device
exceeds 999 (including the “ROOT” folder and
empty folders).
These numbers may vary depending on the file and
folder structure.
Do not save other types of files or unnecessary folders
on a USB device that has audio files.
The system can play back to a depth of 8 folders only.
This system does not necessarily support all the
functions provided in a connected USB device.
Resume play is canceled when you turn off the system.
Folders that have no audio files are skipped.
The audio formats that you can listen to with this
system are as follows:
– MP3: file extension “.mp3”

Note that even when the file name has the correct file
extension, if the actual file differs, the system may
produce noise or may malfunction.

To use the system as a battery

PARTY STREAMING in a wireless LAN
environment
With some IEEE802.11n-compatible wireless
LAN routers/access points, the wireless LAN
transfer speed may slow down when “WEP” or
“WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP)” is selected for the
encryption method.
If the sound skips during streaming playback
using the PARTY STREAMING function, try
changing the encryption method to “WPA/
WPA2-PSK (AES).” This may improve the
transfer speed and the streaming playback.
Configurations of encryption vary depending
on the model; please refer to the operating
instructions supplied with your router/access
point.
