● The player is compatible with VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
● MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA (Windows Media
Audio) and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) are audio
compression standards.
● This system can play AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA files on
USB memory device and Bluetooth device.
● When naming an AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA file, add an
appropriate file extension (.mp3/.wma/.m4a).

TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
● This system plays back files with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file
extensions as AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA files respectively.
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. This system cannot display
folder name, file name and artist name in other formats.
● WMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/AAC tag that is used
in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags carry
information such as file name and artist name.
● This system can play back AAC files encoded by iTunes.
● The sound quality of MP3/WMA files generally improves
with higher bit rates. In order to achieve a reasonable
level of sound quality, USB memory device recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are recommended.
● MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO formats are not
compatible with the audio device.
● When playing back files recorded as VBR (Variable Bit
Rate) files, the play time will not be correctly displayed if
the fast forward or rewind operations are used.
● It is not possible to check folders that do not include
AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA files.
