Audio Playback Notes
Sampling frequency may not correspond to all encoders. Copyright protected files cannot be played back. Non-standard bit rates or non-guaranteed bit rates are included depending on the sampling frequency. Files that are 4 GB (APE is 2 GB) or larger cannot be played back. This product recognizes audio sources exceeding CD quality (44.1 kHz / 16 bit quantization) and DAT quality (48 kHz / 16 bit quantization) as High-resolution Audio. The "HR" symbol is displayed for high-resolution audio sources. For sampling frequency over 352.8 kHz, it will be down converted to a lower frequency for playback.

Battery Life — Continuous Playback Music Notes
The values shown in this topic are the approximate battery life when content is played continuously at the default settings. Even if the player is turned off for an extended period, a small amount of battery power is still consumed. Battery life may vary depending on volume settings, conditions of use and ambient temperature. The battery is consumed considerably when the screen is on. The battery life may become about 70% shorter when some of the sound quality settings are active.
