AYRE DX-5DSD - Manual (Page 32)

Media File Playback
In addition to playing standard disc-based formats
such as Blu-ray disc, DVD, CD, and SACD, the
Ayre DX-5
DSD Universal A/V Engine can play media
files. You can enjoy digital music, movies and
photos stored on an optical disc (recordable CD or
DVD) or a USB drive. Due to the variation of
media, encoding software and techniques used,
compatibility cannot be guaranteed for all
user-created or downloaded contents. Support for
such content is on a best-effort basis.
Playback from a USB Drive
The Ayre DX-5 DSD is equipped with two USB host
ports, one on the front panel and the other on the
back. You may use either to plug in a USB drive
stored with digital music, movie and photo files.
The USB host ports are rated to
provide a maximum of 5V, 500mA
power to the USB drive. This is
sufficient for all USB thumb drives
and flash memory card readers, but
may not be sufficient for USB hard
disks. It is recommended that you use
a USB hard disk with an external
power supply to avoid damage to the
USB host ports.
This unit supports “USB Mass Storage Class
Bulk-Only Transport” devices only. Most USB
thumbs drives, portable hard disk drives and card
readers conform to this device class. Other USB
