Is front USB only for iPod/iPhone or it can play mp3s from thumb flash drive?

It does not work for all iPods. Notably, it will not work with my iPod Nano (it charges it fine, but cannot access the content). I have not tried a flash drive yet.

Not for iPod/iPhone only; you can connect a flash drive to the USB port for music playback. You can also connect an mp3 player to the AUX port (it's next to the USB port); set the V377 to its AUX channel and you're all good. If your V377 is connected by way of HDMI to your television, you can see onscreen what's on the flash drive, and you can use the V377 remote to control playback.

What types of files can be played from that flash drive if connected to USB port in the front? 320 kbps MP3? FLAC?

Have no idea not an issue for me, But if your devices have have a USB out to the Yamaha USB in,then it should work. You'll still still love your Yamaha anyway.

I just bought one of these a few days ago. Yes, it does have the mode where you can drag any files onto the device. So far, I have only dragged MP3 files onto it. But the instructions (and many other web forums) say it could actually be used as a simple flash drive - so I am guessing you can *store* any type of file you like. I am not sure what fule types it will recognize and actually play.

Hi, USB only for UPS memory stick and if you want to play ipod or phone use AUX return. Thanks

All mp3 files require a program to play them. Windows has it's own program so that iTunes is not required. So playing music stored on the flash drive is as easy as plugging it in to any PC and double clicking a file.

Only through a rear auxiliary port. There is no USB connection. the three options to play are the front dock, auxiliary or Bluetooth.

Don't use USB , go buy an auxiliary cord and use that works alot better and no hassle when you wanna play your jams , some stereos cannot recognize smartphones and it just makes it easier to use auxiliary

There is a usb port on the top of the cabinet next to an apple port. When input is set to usb the receiver starts reading the flashdrive and begins to play mp3 and wma (and possibly other) files.

I don't know about an Ipod/Iphone as I have nether but I have a flash drive in both and I can switch between each and listen to their content.

This device is just an extender that relocates AUX and USB connections from the back of the head unit.AUX: yes. USB: depends on the head unit. The USB connection on my head unit is designed for iPod/iPhone devices. I can also plug in a thumb drive and the head unit recognizes music files.

yes! that is the purpose. the i-flashdrive has connections for apple on one end and usb on the other with 16gb storage inbetween. really great device.

You can plug a usb flash drive and it will shuffle through different play list and you can play whatever, I have almost 8000+- songs and 80 different play list and I can use the unit to shuffle through it and play whatever I want. You can play your iPod, any phone through the six jack or even play pandora and I heart radio through your phone and the blue tooth is great. Hope that helps

The USB port is only compatible with apple products. But there is an sd card slot which you can play music from.

I think only audio, per HK website: "USB Port The AVR can play audio files from an Apple iOS device connected to the USB port, and allows you to control the iOS device via the AVR remote control. The AVR can also play MP3 and WMA audio files from a USB device inserted into the USB port. Insert the connector or device into the USB port oriented so it fits all the way into the port. You may insert or remove the connector or device at any time - there is no installation or ejection procedure."

I didn't buy the 64GB but the 16GB flash drive. I tried it on my original iPad which has the wide connector, the same as the iPod Touch. After installing the app for iflashdrive from the app store, the app could read the contents of the sladh drive with no issue. I expect the 64 GB drive should work. I originally bought the flashdrive to work with my iPhone which has the new smaller connector. But I have ipods, iPads, iPhone and PC so it works with all.

I drive a FJ and I have a stereo that I have two USB outlets. The stereo has a USB App that I use which shows the music on the USB Stick as well all the Recorded Radio Programs I have and I play them. I have over a dozen USB Sticks which I used but now I am switching over to Kingston Hyperx Predators because of the vast storage space and uses of their small compact sticks. Some stereo's only have USB slots for Map and system updates so you have to check if your USB is used for that, mine has a SD card slot for updates. My friends use their USB access for music, just like I do but not all stereo's do this. I drive a FJ and I have a stereo that I have two USB outlets.

Offcourse yes u can.. You can directly play any files directly from pen drive without copying those to your mobile
