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 fi 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.

ID3 Tags
ID3 Tags are information about the recording which is located
inside of an MP3 music fi le. When someone creates an MP3
music fi 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 fi 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 fi le.
As of the writing of this manual, there are two versions of ID3 tags that are fi 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 fi le, you can use the supplied MusicMatch™ program
to do so.
