The audio must be sampled at standard frequencies, such as 32 khz, 44. 1khz, and 48khz, and must conform to the AVI file specification. Apart from mp3, the audio formats recognised by your player are MPEG layer 1/2, AC3, DTS, PCM. Formats such as AAC and Ogg Vorbis are not supported by this player. EN To play DivX files 1.
