6 Playing Video

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for basic information.

You can view video files either on the Jukebox Multimedia itself, or on a television (video projectors work nicely also). Use the included

audio/video cable to connect the Jukebox Multimedia to your television. Place the mini-jack into the EAR/AV OUT on the Jukebox and

the other connectors (Red, White, Yellow) respectively to Audio In Right, Audio In Left, and Video In on your television. If your

television only has one audio input, you will have to use either the red or the white connector.

Unfortunately, you will miss half of the stereo sound.

You must also set your television to the auxiliary video input, often called L1 just below channel 1. IN

ORDER TO SEE THE IMAGE ON TV, HOLD DOWN THE ON BUTTON FOR THREE SECONDS and

the image will switch from built-in LCD display to external TV display.

To play a video, you must have a properly encoded DivX™ or XviD video file. The Jukebox will not directly play files of type .mov,

.mpg, .mpeg, nor .avi files created with codecs other than DivX™ or Xvid. You must use the included software on the CD to re-encode

them into the proper DivX™ MP4 with an MP3 sound stream. Please see the following section on how to create MPEG 4 video files. The

Jukebox Multimedia 10 and 20 are capable of playing MP4 Simple Profile .avi files of up to size 352 x 288. The more powerful Jukebox

120 and Archos Video AV140 can play sizes up to 640x368 at 25frames/second and sizes up to 640x480 with reduced frame rates.
