DSM-520 User's Manual
Some of my MP3 and WMA files don't appear.

The DSM-520 supports the most common music file formats. However, there are
almost an infinite variety of bit rates and sample rates. If a file does not appear on
the receiver, it most likely uses an unsupported rate.

The files may be copy protected. To share your files, turn copy protection off when
you rip them.
Note: WMA DRM files can be played by using Windows
software, see page 28 for details.

The following MP3 sample rates are supported:
4, 8, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz.
 For best results, rip your MP3 files at 128 kbps or higher, with a sample rate of 44.1 kHz.
I am not able to play certain media files.
 The DSM-520 supports most industry standard file formats but even supported file
formats can be encoded in ways that are not supported. Try exporting media with

matter unless you come across a file that
will not play or appear on your player.
