●AAC file compatibility
• Compatible standards
MPEG4/AAC-LC
• Compatible sampling frequencies 11.025/12/16/22.05/24/32/44.1/48 (kHz)
• Compatible bit rates 16-320 (kbps)
• Compatible channel modes: 1 ch and 2 ch
● File names
The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA/AAC and played are
those with the extension .mp3 or .wma.
● ID3, WMA and AAC tags
ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track
title, artist name, etc.
The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3 ID3 tags.
(The number of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)
WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the
track title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.
AAC tags can be added to AAC files, making it possible to record the track
title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.
● MP3, WMA and AAC playback
• When a device containing MP3, WMA and AAC files is connected, all
files in the USB memory device are checked. Once the file check is fin-
ished, the first MP3, WMA and AAC file is played. To make the file
check finish more quickly, we recommend that you do not include any
files other than MP3, WMA and AAC files or create any unnecessary
folders.
• When a USB memory device is connected and the audio source is changed to USB memory mode, the USB memory device will start
playing the first file in the first folder. If the same device is removed and
reconnected (and the contents have not been changed), the USB
memory device will resume play from the same point in which it was
last used.
● Extensions
If the file extensions .mp3, .wma and .m4a are used for files other than
MP3, WMA and AAC files, they will be skipped (not played).
