Lossless audio information

To get the best quality sound reproduction, this portable mp3
player can store and play back CD quality uncompressed and
compressed lossless audio files:

Compressed

• APE 16bit ‘fast’ & ‘normal’

• FLAC 16bit

Uncompressed

• WAV 16bit

• WAV 24bit-48k translated to 16bit

To maximise storage capacity MP3 compresses files discarding
sounds which a human ear can’t audibly perceive.

The lower the bit rate, the more data is thrown away giving
lower quality music, BUT Lossless audio compression however
retains every single bit of detail from the original recording,
whilst still reducing file sizes to give CD quality sounding music.

Care and maintenance

After use

• Power off the player.

Care and cleaning

• All care and cleaning operations should be carried out with
the unit unplugged from a PC/ laptop.

• Occasionally wipe the cabinet with a lint free duster. Never
clean the unit with liquids or solvents.
