basis of the MPEG-4 audio compression technology. The file
format and extension used depend on the application used to
encode the AAC file. This receiver plays back AAC files
encoded by iTunes
® bearing the extension ‘ .m4a’. DRM-
protected files will not play, and files encoded with some
versions of iTunes
® may not play.
Apple and iTunes are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the

or AS-BT200) is connected to this unit, a product equipped
with Bluetooth wireless technology (portable cell phone,
digital music player, etc.) can be used to listen to music
wirelessly. Also, by using a commercially available
transmitter supporting Bluetooth wireless technology, you
can listen to music on a device not equipped with Bluetooth
wireless technology. The AS-BT100 and AS-BT200 model
supports SCMS-T contents protection, so music can also be
enjoyed on devices equipped with SCMS-T type Bluetooth
wireless technology.
• It must be necessary that the Bluetooth wireless
technology enabled device supports A2DP profiles.
