You will find that the Info Button, located to the top right of each jog
wheel, will become an indispensable part of using the HDC-1000.
Despite the HDC-1000 being able to display an adequate amount of
information on the LCD, not every attribute of each track can be dis-
played all at once. Additionally, there will be times when you may run
into two tracks with the same title, and the Info Button will help to reveal
which track you truly want to select.
While in Play Mode or Search Mode, pressing the Info button will dis-
play all attributes relating to the currently playing or currently selected
track (depending on whether you are in Play or Search Mode).
The Info function displays:
Artist
- Artist as per what is listed in the ID3 tag
Title
- Title as per what is listed in the ID3 tag
Album
- Album as per what is listed in the ID3 tag
Type of File
- Whether the file is MP3 or WAV
Genre
- Genre as per what is listed in the ID3 tag
Path & Filename
- Exactly how it exists in the directory structure of the
storage device
Note that most of the attributes are taken directly from the ID3 tag
found in the MP3 file. If the ID3 tag is missing any of these attributes,
they will not be displayed in the Info screens.
Once you have pressed the Info button, you will be presented with all of
the attributes relating to the currently playing or selected track. You
may use the Navigation Pad Arrow Keys or the Jog Wheel to scroll up
and down to view all of the information.
To exit the Info screens, you may press the Info Button again, or you may
press either the Search or Play Mode buttons to jump immediately to
those modes, when applicable.
