MA60 & MA60media Installation and User Guide v1.2

MA60media digital media player

NOTE: This section of the manual applies to the MA60media only

The MA60media includes an integral digital audio player, which can play audio

recorded as WMA or MP3 les from either USB memory devices or SD cards

plugged into their respective sockets on the front panel

and

A standard set of “transport” controls is provided on the front panel to play, stop,

pause, etc., programme material.

The stereo audio output of the media player is mixed to (L+R) mono and routed

internally via the rear panel MEDIA/L1 switch

to Line Input 1. Thus to use the

media player, the rear panel switch must be set to MEDIA (button ‘in’), and the front

panel MUSIC SOURCE switch

set to Input 1/MEDIA.

Compatible media

USB: USB 2.0-compatible memory devices.

SD: SD cards up to 4 GB capacity, or SDHC cards up to 32 GB. MMC cards of

the same capacity are also compatible.

Filing systems supported are FAT16 or FAT32.

File types and rates supported

The MA60media will replay audio les recorded in either WMA or MP3 formats, as

follows:

WMA: bitrates from 32 kpbs to 384 kbps

MP3: MPEG 1/2/2.5, layer 2 or 3 decoding at bit rates from 32 kpbs to 384 kpbs,

including VBR.

Sample rates supported are: 8 kHz, 11.025 kHz, 12 kHz, 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz,

32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz

Both types of audio le may be present on the memory device; the MA60media will

not differentiate between them in any way. The les may be in the root directory

of the memory, or in folders, or folders within folders. When the memory device is

plugged in, the media player will scan it and identify all compatible les in all folder

locations, and make them available for playing. Only one memory device at a time

(USB device or SD card) may be connected. Note that it is not possible to create a

playlist from the MA60media’s front panel controls.
