Repeat, shuffle and programmed playback are also included. In addition, the Power-on Playback function is available.
Dub from cassette to USB media as MP3 files

Audio from CDs, and the LINE inputs can also be recorded in the MP3 format to USB flash drives. When recording from a CD, each track is automatically made into a separate MP3 file. When recording audio from a tape or the LINE inputs, you can manually divide the MP3 files during recording.
