RE: What audio formats does it play through USB?

Posted by cfraser on November 13, 2009 at 10:46:42:
As far as I can tell, both my 980 and 83 display MP3 files in the same order. You have to use a utility to re-order the files on the USB drive. I have so many HT system things I can stick a USB drive into, but I don't use any of them to play MP3s because access is too inconvenient so I can't tell you much (I use the PS3 to play them). I don't think the 83 plays any lossless ripped file formats. I don't think it even handles MKV stuff as well as the 980, requires more effort depending what you want to play.
Really, the 83 is a standard/commercial-type *disc* player, and a pretty good one. I wouldn't recommend it especially for anything else.
