08 Playback with NETWORK features 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 play- back 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. - Gapless playback is not possible when the format is being converted (transcoded) by the server. - Gapless playback is not possible in the DMR mode. - When AAC or MP3 format is used, sound is reproduced with the minimum gap. If you are conscious about gaps, use WAV or FLAC files.
