HDD AUDIO PLAYER

HAP-S1

Listening to the sound from externally connected devices

You can listen to music played on an external digital or analog audio device connected to the input port of
the HDD AUDIO PLAYER.

Note

This function is not for selecting an external hard disk drive as an external device.

1. Select [External Input] in the Home screen.

2. Select the name of the input port to which the desired audio source is connected.

3. Start playing music on the externally connected device.

Note

Only the LPCM 2ch audio format can be played when the signal is input through the OPTICAL IN or
COAXIAL IN jack. (The HDD AUDIO PLAYER supports the LPCM format with sampling frequencies up to
96 kHz for signals input through the OPTICAL IN jack. 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz sampling frequencies
are not supported.)
Playing other formats may produce noise or even damage the speakers if played at a high volume.
If you select external input while playing a track stored in the hard disk drive or listening to an
Internet radio program, the playback of the track or the Internet radio streaming stops.
You cannot record the audio signal input through the external input jacks to the hard disk drive of the
HDD AUDIO PLAYER.
