6 − Playback
In this chapter we explain the playback functions for audio files
stored on SD cards, CF cards and USB flash drives.
The following explanations assume that an SD card, CF card or
USB flash drive that contains an audio file is loaded in the unit,
that the unit is on and that the current media is set appropri-
ately. (See “Selecting the media used” on page 21.)
Playable file types
This unit can play files with the following formats.
• WAV and BWF formats (wav extension)
(44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192kHz sampling frequency,
16/24-bit)
• DSDIFF format (dff extension) (2.8224/5.6448MHz sampling
frequency)
• DSF format (dsf extension) (2.8224/5.6448MHz sampling
frequency)
TIP
This unit can play back a file even if it did not record it if
the file is in one of the above formats. For example, if you
use a computer or another audio device to copy a file that
meets the above conditions to an SD card, CF card or USB
flash drive and load that media in this unit, playing that
file should be possible. In other words, you can efficiently
prepare materials for playback on this unit.
Files and tracks
Audio data is saved on media in "files."
If the
MODE
item on the
CHANNEL
screen is set to
STEREO
, one
stereo file will be used as one track. If set to
MONOx2
, two mono
files will be used as one track. (See “Setting the recording file
format” on page 23.)
When explaining recording and playback in this manual,
we usually refer to audio files as "tracks" (or sometimes as
"songs"). We mainly use the term "files" when explaining media
management. In any case, these terms refer to the same thing.
