Question MARANTZ NA6005 + PM6005

How do you 'safely' disconnect a USB from either machine? I can't locate any disconnection details in the manual.

I believe you simply pull it out. There's no safety as unlike a computer it isn't going to be writing data to the USB is it

.....hence the reason for no disconnection instruction in the manual.
(Still wouldn't disconnect while playing though would we? - even though it would probably do no harm 🤔 ).

As the other guys have said, just wait for it to stop playing and unplug it, if you're that worried just turn the unit off and whip it out.

Correct, this cannot effect the data on the USB drive, the safe disconnect on computers is there only to stop you whipping it out if it is still writing data to the stick.

Thanks to all above - I was just playing it 'safe' and didn't want to lose or damage anything that I have spent the last week (!) archiving to a WD My Passport UBS drive. What you all say makes sense - I suppose that I just wanted to have 'confirmation' of what I was suspecting anyways. Cheers 🙂
