•Max. levels of nested directories is 19.
•Never use the supported file type extensions (.jpg, .jpeg, .mp3, .alb, .m3u and .pls) as extensions for directories as these directories will be treated as corrupted files.
•The MP3 decoder does not support MPEG1 Layer 1 or Layer 2 playback.
•The access and response time of the content on a device can differ depending on the type or brand of the device.
•The access and response time of the content on a device will decrease the more unsupported or corrupted files are on the device.
•The length of the filename including the directory path and USB device name should not exceed 250 characters for USB or Memory Card based content.
