.ogg and .mp3" file extensions and with a bit rate of between 32 Kbps 
and 320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.

WMA files must be of the standard wma 9 type.
The sampling rates supported are greater than 32 KHz.
It is advisable to restrict file names to 20 characters, without using of 
special characters (e.g.: " " ?  ; ù) to avoid any playing and displaying 
problems.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording 
it is preferable to select the ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet standard.
If the disc is recorded in another format (udf,
  ...), it may not be played 
correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used 
for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) 
for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is 
recommended. Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage or iPod 
devices via the USB port (suitable cable not supplied).
If a partitioned USB memory key is connected to the 
system, only the first partition is recognised.
Control of the peripheral device is with the audio 
system controls.
The number of tracks is limited to 2000 maximum, 
999
  tracks per folder.
If the current consumption at the USB port exceeds 
500 mA, the system goes into protection mode and 
deactivates the port.
Other peripherals, not recognised on connection, must 
be connected to the auxiliary socket using a Jack cable 
(not supplied).
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT32 (File Allocation Table).
The system does not support the operation of an Apple
® player and a 
USB memory stick connected at the same time.

memory), an operation which can take from 
a few seconds to several minutes at the first 
connection.

lists and if they are not modified, the loading 
time will be shorter.
