The main unit can only support the
standard USB-memory disc which is
approved by Microsoft.

which means different brand name or
different models have their own standard.

there has normal battery in the player

remove the battery from the MP3 player
then connect it to the USB slot.
Otherwise, it may cause battery burst.

remove the USB driver from the USB slot.
