Audio codecs
Your sound system supports a range of audio codecs which provide compatibility with a wide range of Internet Radio stations. These also allow users
to stream music from their computers or to play directly from USB and SD/SDHC fl ash memory devices.
Note that for any given audio codec, there are many streaming protocols available, and thus even if an Internet Radio station uses a supported format,
this does not guarantee that every such station will work with your sound system. The radio stations database to which your sound system connects is
checked for compatibility so that most stations should be playable without problems. Similarly when streaming media from a computer, while a codec
may be supported, there can be many subtle variations in formats, tagging schemes and protocols (even within UPnP). In general your sound system
will play the supported formats with most common UPnP servers.
The following table summarises the maximum supported bit-rates for the various audio formats that are playable on your sound system. Higher rates
may be playable in some cases but performance of the product may be affected.
