Playing back audio files from USB memory
LS9-16/32 Owner’s Manual
Here’s how to play back audio files that have been saved on USB memory. In addition to files that
were recorded on the LS9 console, you can also play files that were copied from your computer
to USB memory.
Three types of audio file format can be played: MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3), WMA (Windows
Media Audio), and AAC (MPEG-4 AAC). The sampling rate can be either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz,
and the bit rate can be between 64 kbps and 320 kbps.

[RECORDER] key repeatedly to access the
TITLE LIST screen.

that are saved in the selected folder of USB memory.
The row with the blue background in the center of the

secutive playback. If there is a lower-level folder, a
