About playback behavior over a network
! Playback may stall when the PC is switched off or any media files stored on it are deleted while playing content.
! If there are problems within the network environment (heavy network traffic, etc.) content may not be displayed
or played properly (playback may be interrupted or stalled). For best performance, a 100BASE-TX connection
between player and PC is recommended.
! If several clients are playing simultaneously, as the case may be, playback is interrupted or stalled.
! Depending on the security software installed on a connected PC and the setting of such software, network
connection may be blocked.
Pioneer is not responsible for any malfunction of the player and/or the NETWORK features due to communica-
tion error/malfunctions associated with your network connection and/or your PC, or other connected equipment.
Please contact your PC manufacturer or Internet service provider.

About playable file formats
The NETWORK feature of this receiver supports the following file formats. Note that some file formats are not
available for playback although they are listed as playable file formats. Also, the compatibility of file formats var-
ies depending on the type of server. Check with your server to ensure the compatibility of file formats supported
by your server.
! Internet radio playback may be affected by the Internet communications environment, and in this case play-
back may not be possible even with the file formats listed here.
! For MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, and DSD files, gapless play will be performed when a music
file with identical format, sampling frequency, number of quantization bits, and number of channels is con-
tinuously played.
— Gapless playback is not possible when the format is being converted (transcoded) by the server.
— Gapless playback is not possible in the DMR mode.
— When AAC or MP3 format is used, sound is reproduced with the minimum gap. If you are conscious about
gaps, use WAV or FLAC files.
