Restrictions and notes
Windows Media Audio 9 Voice, Lossless and Professional as well as DRM-protected files are not
supported. Other data media with copy protection and multi-session CDs and DVDs can sometimes
not be played back or only with limitations.
Dirt, high temperatures and mechanical damage can render a data medium unusable. Please observe
data medium manufacturer information.
Quality differences between data media of different manufacturers can cause problems during
playback.
The data medium configuration or the devices or programs used for recording can cause individual
tracks or data medium to be unreadable. Information can be found on the Internet on the best ways to
create audio files, video files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium containing compressed audio
files (such as MP3, WMA) than a “normal” audio CD. Complex directory structures can also the delay
the reading process. If possible, only use data media with readable audio and video files.
Play lists only define a certain playback sequence. Play lists do not save any files. Play lists cannot
be played if the files on the data medium are not saved in the location to which the play list is referring
(relative data path). Play lists cannot be copied to the media center (HDD).
.NOTICE
Do not use memory CARd adapters.
.No liability can be accepted for damaged or lost files on the data media.
