For server playback and playback from a USB storage device, this unit is compatible with the following music file formats.
Music files of the following formats that can be played depend on the network server. For example, when using Windows Media Player 12, not all music files on the PC can be played. The music files that can be played are those registered in the Windows Media Player 12 library.
Variable bit rate (VBR) files are supported. However, the playback time may not be displayed correctly.
This unit supports non-stop playback of the USB storage device under the following conditions.
When WAV, FLAC and Apple files are played without loss continuously with the same format, sample rate, channels and quantization bit rate.
Remote playback is not compatible with non-pause playback.
