Play music from Galaxy Tab S2 through device with usb input

I have a galaxy tab s2 and I wish to play music on the tab s2 through a Panasonic SC-HC37DB. This is the device our group use in a small dance hall as it gives us music at an adequate playback level.

This has the following inputs - an iPod dock, a cd player and a USB stick. It has no 3.5 mm audio jack input only an earphone outlet

If I copy all my files on to a USB stick play back becomes very difficult as the files are stored on the stick in what appears to be a random order and display panel on the Panasonic is very small and is very limited in info it can display.

Can I play the music stored on my tab s2 through this device?

Another possibility is to buy a cheap iPod and use that as the playback source but I am against that as I already have too many devices all with different operating systems.

Yet another possibility is to get some really power but small and portable speaker/s but this would be far more expensive.

Any ideas?
 
This is a system with an iPod Dock connector on it, it doesn't have Bluetooth either. And the USB only supports FAT formatted storage media upto 32 GB. So no I don't think you can use your Samsung tablet with it. It won't even support modern Apple iOS devices either.

You might have to looking at getting a used iPod, one that has the Dock connector on it. Which Apple hasn't made for a few years now. And thing with those, their sealed batteries may well be on their last legs.

With older iPod Dock systems and speakers, like this Panasonic. It's the iPod itself that plays the music and does all the work. There's an analog signal pass-through in the Dock connection, and the system is only amplifying.

EDIT

Something like this should work with the Samsung tablet and Panasonic though.
