Notes

Playback of CD-Rs created in multi-session is limited to its single session parts.

If “.mp3” is added to a file other than MP3, the server may play the file, damaging the connected devices.

Notes on playing DTS soundtracks

When playing DTS sound recorded on a CD, the analog AUDIO L/R jacks output excessively loud noise. Noise may be output even when the connection is digital depending on the playback condition. To avoid damaging your system, attention is required when connecting the server’s analog output jacks to an AV amplifier.

To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, you will need to connect a 5.1ch DTS Digital Surround™ decoder to the server’s digital output jack. If you connect the server to an AV amplifier without a DTS decoder and play a DTS CD, noise may be output from the connected speakers.
