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.

[RECORDER] key repeatedly to access the
TITLE LIST screen.
