1504-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
*1: Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compati-ble
*2: Only compatible with Windows Media Audio  Standard
 MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), 
WMA (Windows Media Audio) 
and AAC  (Advanced Audio 
Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.
 This system can play 
MP3/WMA/AAC files on USB 
memory.
 MP4, WMV and AVI files can 
use the following resolutions: 
128x96, 160x120, 176x144 
(QCIF), 320x240 (QVGA), 
352x240 (SIF), 352x288 
(CIF), 640x480 (VGA), 
720x480 (NTSC), 720x576 
(PAL)
 When naming an 
MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an 
appropriate file extension 
(.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
 This system plays back files 
with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file 
extensions as 
MP3/WMA/AAC files respec-
tively. To prevent noise and 
playback errors, use the 
appropriate file extension.
 MP3 files are compatible with 
the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, 
Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats.
