Notes
General
Media and format re strictions :
the MM I (includ
ing the SD card reader and the USB storage de
vice connection *) was tested wit h a variety of
products and media on the market. However,
there may be cases where ind ividual devices or
media and audio/video files* may not be recog
n ized, may play on ly w ith restrictions, or may not
play at all.
Digital Rights Management : please note that
the audio/video* files are subjec t to copyright
protection .
The med ia drives do not play f iles that are pro
tected by ORM and that are ident ified with the
symbol

Data secu rity : never store important data on SD
cards, the Jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices .
Aud i AG is not responsib le for damaged or lost
f il es and media .
Loading times : th e more files/fo lders/p lay lists
that are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load the audio/v ideo* files . Audi recom
mends using storage med ia tha t on ly conta in au
d io/video files* . To decrease the t ime it takes to
l oad audio/v ideo f iles*, create subfolders (fo r ex
ample, fo r th e a rt ist o r album). The loading time
will also increase when importing fi les.
Additional information : when playing, audio
f iles are automatically displayed with any add i
tional informat ion that is sto red (such as the ar
