About playable file formats
The NETWORK feature of this receiver supports the following
file formats. Note that some file formats are not available for
playback although they are listed as playable file formats.
Also, the compatibility of file formats varies depending on the
type of server. Check with your server to ensure the
compatibility of file formats supported by your server.
• Internet radio playback may be affected by the Internet
communications environment, and in this case playback
may not be possible even with the file formats listed here.
• With MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, AIFF and Apple Lossless files,
when music files with the same format, sampling
frequency, quantization bit number and number of
channels are played successively, they are played with no
gap.
- Make sure the gap is at the minimum when using MP3 or
AAC. If you are concerned about the gap, please use
WAV or FLAC files.
- Gapless playback is not possible when the format is
being converted (transcoded) by the server.
- Gapless playback is not possible in the DMR mode.
