  If your device can't play files from a USB memory device, the USB might be in a format other than FAT16 or FAT32, divided into multiple partitions, or the files are in a non-compatible format, or the files are copyright protected. Set the format to FAT16 or FAT32. When divided into multiple partitions, only files stored in the top partition can be played. Record the files in a compatible format. Files that are copyright protected cannot be played on this set.

  If you encounter a 'Server is not found' error, it could be due to the computer's or router's firewall being activated, the computer not being powered on, the server not running, or the set's IP address being incorrect. Check the computer's or router's firewall settings, ensure the computer is turned on, launch the server, and verify the set's IP address.

  If the AirPlay icon isn't displayed in iTunes or on your iPhone/iPod touch, it could be because the unit and the computer or iPhone/iPod touch aren't connected to the same network (LAN), or iTunes or the iPhone/iPod touch don't have firmware that supports AirPlay installed. Connect the computer or iPhone/iPod touch to the same network as this unit and update to the latest firmware.
