About MPEG-4 AAC

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of the MPEG-4 AAC standard, which incorporates MPEG-2 AAC, forming the basis of the MPEG-4 audio compression technology. The file format and extension used depend on the application used to encode the AAC file. This receiver plays back AAC files encoded by iTunes® bearing the extension ‘.m4a’. DRM- protected files will not play, and files encoded with some versions of iTunes® may not play.

About WMA

WMA is an acronym for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. This receiver plays back WMA files encoded using Windows Media® Player bearing the extension ‘.wma’. Note that DRM-protected files will not play, and files encoded with some versions of Windows Media® Player may not play.

Wireless music play

When the Bluetooth ADAPTER (Pioneer Model No. AS-BT100 or AS-BT200) is connected to this unit, a product equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology (portable cell phone, digital music player, etc.) can be used to listen to music wirelessly. Also, by using a commercially available transmitter supporting Bluetooth wireless technology, you can listen to music on a device not equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology. The AS-BT100 and AS-BT200 model supports SCMS-T contents protection, so music can also be enjoyed on devices equipped with SCMS-T type Bluetooth wireless technology.

•It must be necessary that the Bluetooth wireless technology enabled device supports A2DP profiles.
