Using a Playlist from iTunes™

For Macintosh users who would like to create iTunes™ Playlists on the AV300, a special plug-in
has been developed. You will find it on the included CD-ROM in a folder called iTunes™ plug-in.
In this folder you will find a plug-in for Mac OS 9.x and another one for Mac OS 10.x. You will
also find a .JPG image illustrating where you need to copy the plug-in to. Once this is done,
iTunes™ will recognize the AV300 as a 'Device'. When you create your Playlists with iTunes, it
will now save these Playlists to the root directory of your AV300. Disconnect the AV300 from
your computer and then simply click Play on the Playlist that iTunes™ has created for you.
