Playing back audio files from USB memory

LS9-16/32 Owner’s Manual

Here’s how to play back audio ﬁles that have been saved on USB memory. In addition to ﬁles that

were recorded on the LS9 console, you can also play ﬁles that were copied from your computer

to USB memory.

Three types of audio ﬁle format can be played: MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3), WMA (Windows

Media Audio), and AAC (MPEG-4 AAC). The sampling rate can be either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz,

and the bit rate can be between 64 kbps and 320 kbps.

audio ﬁles to the USB connector.

2In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the

[RECORDER] key repeatedly to access the

TITLE LIST screen.

that are saved in the selected folder of USB memory.

The row with the blue background in the center of the
