About MPEG-4 AAC
Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of the
MPEG-4 AAC standard, which incorporates MPEG-2
AAC, forming the 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.

the U.S. and other countries.
About WMA
