Supported Media Players, Formatsand Metadata Information
SYNC is capable of hosting nearly anydigital media player, including iPod,Zune™, plays from device players, andmost USB drives. Supported audio formatsinclude MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.
It is also able to organize your indexedmedia from your playing device bymetadata tags. Metadata tags, which aredescriptive software identifiers embeddedin the media files, provide informationabout the file.
If your indexed media files contain noinformation embedded in these metadatatags, SYNC may classify the emptymetadata tags as Unknown.
In order to playback video from your iPodor iPhone, you must have a specialcombination USB/RCA composite videocable (which you can buy from Apple).When you connect the cable to your iPodor iPhone, plug the other end into both theRCA jacks and the USB port.

Troubleshooting
•Do not connect the audio input jack toa line level output. The jack only workscorrectly with devices that have aheadphone output with a volumecontrol.
•Do not set the portable music player'svolume level higher than is necessaryto match the volume of the CD or FMradio as this causes distortion andreduces sound quality.
•If the music sounds distorted at lowerlistening levels, turn the portable musicplayer volume down. If the problempersists, replace or recharge thebatteries in the portable media player.
•Control the portable media player inthe same manner when used withheadphones, as the auxiliary input jackdoes not provide control (such as Playor Pause) over the attached portablemedia player.
