If you are watching a video and would like to place a bookmark in it in order to continue from this point at another
time, you can use the Bookmark function. Highlight the icon and click on the Select action button. This will set a
bookmark in the video fi le at the current position. You can only set one bookmark per fi le. When you look at the
fi le in your browser, it will have a yellow check mark on its icon indicating that this fi le has a bookmark set within
it. You can have a maximum of 16 fi les book-marked. Setting more bookmarks will then start to erase the oldest
bookmarks. The next time you play this video fi le, you will be presented with three options:
Resume
Start playing from the book-marked position.
Ignore
Keep the bookmark but start playing from the very beginning.

Clear the bookmark from this fi le and start playing from the very beginning.

Non Protected Internet Video Content
The AV 700 TV plays .AVI fi les that are encoded in MPEG-4 format. It can play such video fi les at a maximum
size of 720 x 576 pixels (25 frames/second). It can also play .WMV fi les (WMV9 SP) up to a maximum size of
352 x 288**. The AV 700 TV will not directly play fi les of type .mov, .mpg, or .mpeg.
The number of encoding and compression schemes currently used to create video fi les is very extensive and
seems to change on a weekly basis. There are so many standards and formats that it is very possible that the
video fi le you download from the Internet will not play right away on your device. Due to certain “variations”, even
when video fi les are formatted in “MPEG-4” they may not play right away.
If you have some video fi les that do not play directly on your AV 700 TV, they will have to be converted fi rst.
Windows Media
®
Player 10 (Available only for Windows XP) will convert your video fi le automatically when you
sync the fi le that is on your PC to the AV 700 TV. It will display a little message ‘converting’.
You can also use the software
MPEG-4 Translator
included on the AV 700 TV hard drive to re-encode your video
fi les into the proper MPEG-4 SP format that the AV 700 TV can play. See the chapter
Video – creating MPEG-4
video fi les with your computer
for more details.
