How do I get this receiver to play music directly from a USB? (Not from an iPod.)

Dear Joel, There is a front USB port on the HK3770 so you should be able to connect directly to that from your USB device. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

Did you have the same CD player with your old reciever? My guess would be that if anything is going wrong as far as reading a data disk as music, it would have to do with what you were using to read it, not the reciever. I'm actually surprised that you had a system that could use a data disk in such a way, because I've never seen one work like that.

No USB, RCA only. Requires a phono pre-amp or a phono imput on your amplifier.

the aux input doesn't exactly work so well on the jukebox, unless its just a problem with mine i can never get it to work. try finding an adapter that has an input of the old apple plugs and then an output of the new lightening plug, then you can get the bonus of charging your devices as well

I have plugged it into a portable speaker, but I just used the audio out port, not USB.

I'm pretty sure you will because the output for the receiver is to the aux port, and I don't believe it outputs on the USB end, but I haven't tried it either.

I haven't tried to play music through usb yet, but it does come with a headphone style jack for music input, and I can confirm that the usb port will charge devices. I should get some .wma and .mp3 files and try then on my phones external storage setting...

You use a RCA Y Connector; on one end if will have RCA connections, on the other a 3.5m jack, which will be plugged into the device (the hole is right below the USB)

The USB is only use to charge devices connected to the V513. To connect and play sounds from any device, use the 'AUX in' connection, you can use adapters like RCA or guitar plugs or almost anything to connect anything. This unit is already discontinued, lucky if you can get one. The best sound ever.

there is no USB input, but the AUX Input will accept low level audio signals from other devices. If the device has a HEADPHONE OUT, it would likely play through the AUX input.

Not directly. There is no USB input jack. You can play music using the Bluetooth option where you connect your music player via Bluetooth.

Do you have a smart TV? Try to send the content to that device instead. On another note...you can connect the optical audio from your TV to your receiver and no matter what you watch on TV you can get dolby sound by goint to that source. I had the same problem before when trying to use my itouch and the content would not stream. I ended up plugging the USB to my smart TV and it worked.

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 think you can, it doesn't have the right ports for that hookup, the only way to play music on this device is to have a CD player, or any kind of MP3 player

I have returned this product for a different one. I was able to connect to receiver via my phone BT but wasn't able to play music. May be it need the receiver.

If you have a Bluetooth enabled device you can stream music that way. Be wary though, over time we have had issues with the Bluetooth not syching right away. We have to turn the stereo off and on, then cycle through the various connection options to get to Bluetooth before it will synch. If that sounds like a hassle, the USB port works very well with iPhones and iPods.

are you using a connecting cable 3.5mm with two out put ends to plug into your aux imput on the back of your receiver? if you really want hi-end playback, get a nuforce dac and use this type of cable or a single 3.5mm connecting cable from mp3 player to a receiver or intergrated amp and the sound quality will blow you away, happy listening:)
