Reads MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, and WAV files. For all systems with height channels "Z" is typically 2 (front left and right height channels) or 4 (front left and right and rear left and right height channels). For all systems "Y" indicates the number of subwoofers (typically 0 or 1, but on occasion 2). With surround systems "X" is total number of channels that are integrated into the soundbar or soundbase enclosure (typically front left and right, or front left and right, and center) plus the number of surround channels handled by separate surround speakers (typically left rear and right rear, but there could also be left side and right side, or more). With non-surround systems "X" is the number of non-surround channels that are integrated into the soundbar or soundbase enclosure (2 means front left and right, 3 means front left, right, and center there could be higher numbers - meaning more channels - but it still amounts to non-surround sound). The format is "X.Y" for non-surround and surround sound systems, and "X.Y.Z" for non-surround or surround systems with height channels. The number of audio channels the system has, whether the channels provide surround sound, and if applicable, whether optional accessories can be used to expand the system to more channels and/or to provide surround sound.
