Playing MP3 music

3.1 Playing through your HiFi system

On your HiFi there are two RCA type connectors that are labeled Aux in, CD in, or

Line-in. Typically they are color coded white and red for left and right stereo channels

respectively. Connect the white and red leads of the supplied AV cable to these

connectors. Do not connect the yellow lead. Connect the other end to Audio Out on

the top of the AV300.

On the front of your stereo, select the corresponding auxiliary input

or CD input that you plugged into on the back of your HiFi system.

Press Play and then adjust the AV300 volume (Joystick Up/Down)

in order to supply your stereo system with a signal that is neither

too weak nor too strong. If the sound is distorted, you will need to

reduce the AV300’s volume.

If you have a stereo system that has a digital SPDIF-In connection (standard wire, not

optical  ber) you can connect the included AV cable to the AUDIO IN / SPDIF jack on

the top of the AV300 and then connect the yellow connector to your stereo’s SPDIF-In

jack.

3.2 ID3 Tags

ID3 Tags are information about the recording which is located

inside of an MP3 music  le. When someone creates an MP3

music  le, he or she has the option of adding information to it.

This information can include, among other things, the name of

the artist (Wes Burden), the album name (Brave New World),

the title of the song (Mirror), and a small image of the album cover (only jpeg images

not progressive jpeg) . If these data are present, the AV300 will display them on the

screen when it plays the  le. If they are not present, then the AV300 will display in order,

the name of the parent folder, the name of the current folder, and then the name of

the  le.

As of the writing of this manual, there are two versions of ID3 tags that are  rmly

established standards, ID3 version 1 and ID3 version 2. Your AV300 can read either

version of tags, and display the information. If both sets of tags have information, the

data from the ID3 version 2 tag will be displayed. Other tag information may include

composer, year, genre of music, etc. These other tag data are not currently used by the

AV300. If you would like to add ID3 tag data such as an album cover graphic or change

the current tags in a current MP3  le, you can use the supplied MusicMatch™ program

to do so.
