If the picture operation response is slow while playing music from a USB drive, it is likely because the TV is reading some files while the music is being played. This is a normal occurrence and should not cause concern. To mitigate this, ensure that the USB drive is not overloaded with too many files or that the files are not too large. If the issue persists, try using a different USB drive or reformatting the current one.
