feature-lled entertainment systems. Your designs
will let passengers enjoy high-quality entertainment
from a variety of media, whether it’s watching videos
or playing music, and everyone can make their own

selection, with different options playing in the front
and rear seats at the same time.
The A/V reference design lets passengers play video
content form a wide range of sources, including
embedded Flash and HDD storage, USB memory
sticks, or SD (Secure Digital) Flash cards and other
popular DVD formats. TV reception can even be
an option, since the design covers all the main

playback from a variety of storage media, and
offers comprehensive support of compressed audio
les such as MP3, WMA, and AAC. The reference
design handles multi-channel audio with ease,

impressive, surround-sound environments. Multiple,
simultaneous audio streams allow
different combinations of audio delivery, including
front/rear audio.
