●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 f ile check
finish more quickly, we recommend that you do not include any f iles 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 pl ay-
ing the first file in the first folder. If the same device is r emoved and
reconnected (and the contents have not been changed), the USB m em-
ory 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 o ther than
MP3, WMA and AAC files, they will be skipped (not played).
● Playback
• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fi xed bit
rate of at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding softwar e for MP3,
WMA and AAC files on the market, and depending on the status of the
encoding and the file format, poor sound quality or noise at th e start of
playback may result. In some cases, playback may not be possible at all.
• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trade marks
of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.
