Playable audio file formats
The following audio file formats can be played on the HDD AUDIO PLAYER.
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.
