HDD AUDIO PLAYERHAP-Z1ES

Using the Gapless Playback function (Gapless Playback)

When the Gapless Playback function is set to [Auto], the HDD AUDIO PLAYER plays tracks without the silent part between tracks. This is useful for playing albums of concerts or other live music.

The Gapless Playback function works with DSD, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC and WMA Lossless music file formats.

  1. Select [Settings] - [Audio Settings] in the Home screen.
  2. Select [Gapless Playback].
  3. Select a Gapless Playback setting from [Off] and [Auto].
    The gaps between tracks are adjusted according to the selected setting.

Descriptions of menu settings

Selectable menu items are described below.

Off:
The adjustment of gaps between tracks is not performed. The HDD AUDIO PLAYER plays tracks as they are.
Auto:
The tracks are played back without gaps (factory default setting).

Note

  • Short gaps may occur even if the Gapless Playback function is set to [Auto], depending on the file format of the currently playing track and that of the next track to be played.
  • The Gapless Playback function will be applied only when you play the tracks of an album in the original order.
