MEMO
• Up to 100 m3u files can be displayed per device.

if a file exceeds 308 000 bytes, tracks loaded past that size
cannot be displayed.

storage devices.
• In the case of discs, short file name notation is not supported.
NOTE
• When this unit's library function (P. 62) is used for browsing,
m3u files will not be displayed.
• Since a variety of formats can coexist within an m3u playlist, it
may not operate properly in all cases.
