Prerequisites and restrictions
For a good playback, we recommend using files with a low level of compres-
sion (for example, a bit rate of at least 160 kb / s or higher compressed MP3
files).
Files that are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology can-
not be played back by the device.
At the time of publication, the device has been tested with most audio sources
available in the various markets. However, it is possible that some audio sour-
ces or files will be unreadable or unplayable.
Bluetooth ®
