The HDD AUDIO PLAYER does not enter standby mode when music files are
being transferred from your computer, smartphone or tablet or when the HDD
AUDIO PLAYER is analyzing transferred music files, even if you press the
button to switch to standby mode. The HDD AUDIO PLAYER enters standby after
all target music files are transferred and analyzed.
Hint
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER enters the Network Standby mode after 20 minutes of
no operations and no playback if [Auto Standby] is set to [On] (factory default
setting). The HDD AUDIO PLAYER does not enter the standby mode or the
Network Standby mode when an external input is selected.
[45] Playing music
Listening to the sound from externally connected devices
You can listen to music played on an external digital or analog audio device
connected to the input port of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER.
Note
This function is not for selecting an external hard disk drive as an external device.
1. Select [External Input] in the Home screen.
2. Select the name of the input port to which the desired audio source is
connected.
3. Start playing music on the externally connected device.
Note
Only the LPCM 2ch audio format can be played when the signal is input through
the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN jack. (The HDD AUDIO PLAYER supports the
LPCM format with sampling frequencies up to 96 kHz for signals input through the
OPTICAL IN jack. 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz sampling frequencies are not
supported.)
Playing other formats may produce noise or even damage the speakers if played
at a high volume.
