Playing Through your Stereo 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. Just
take a stereo mini jack plug to RCA cable (not
included) and connect the mini plug to the
AV400 headphone jack and the other end to the
Aux in, CD
in, or line-
in of your stereo system. Or better, connect
the Archos TV cradle’s AV Out red and white
connectors directly to your stereo auxiliary
inputs and place AV400 into the TV Cradle.
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 AV400 volume
(UP/DOWN buttons) 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 AV400’s volume. You can turn on and off the built-in
speaker by holding the center function button for three seconds.
