About playable file formats

The USB function of this receiver supports the following file formats. Note that some file formats are not available
for playback although they are listed as playable file formats.
! With MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, AIFF and Apple Lossless files, when music files with the same format, sampling
frequency, quantization bit number and number of channels are played successively, they are played with no
gap.
— When AAC or MP3 format is used, sound is reproduced with the minimum gap. If you are conscious about
gaps, use WAV or FLAC files.
