Please note:

 

For media formats listed herein and especially for fi le extensions not explicitly listed: File extensions not listed are either not playable 

  at all, or cause a severely impaired playback performance.

 

Manually overwritten fi le extensions will not cause the fi le to become playable, but instead such manual interaction may cause loud 

  digital decoding noise on the speaker outputs or may even crash the device, in the worst case.

 

Files that contain any kind digital watermark, DRM header or general copy protection cannot be played back.

 

MP3 and AVI fi les created with non-compliant encoder settings are prone to cause audio dropouts and/or stuttering picture 

  performance.

 

Extension of existing fi le extension standards and defi nitions can cause incompatibilities in the future, because the software decoders 

  implemented on device are of licensed type as is, and thus memory resident by nature.

 

After device start-up and during periods of increased CPU load, audio and video fi le playback can be affected by brief audio dropouts.

 

In particular, USB mass storage devices must be formatted correctly before use. Read-in and track list processing times can 

  be adversely affected by the memory controller resident on the mass storage device.

 

In addition, even USB mass storage devices that seem to work well during initial empirical testing can still show sluggish performance 

  and audio payback related issues, no matter if all fi les loaded on the storage device are of compliant format.
