CREATING GROUPS

In addition to Playlists, FireBall allows you to create custom “Groups” of Movies, Music Titles or 

Radio Stations. User created Groups appear in the Group Bar along with the automatically created 

Genre Groups and System Groups (All, CDs, Internal, and Playlists). Some uses for custom Group 

are:

•  Group similar movies together.

•  Create custom groups of your favorite movies.

•  Organize music titles or radio stations into custom genres, like “Funk”, 80’s, “Hits’, etc…

•  Group all of the albums for a favorite artists together for quick access.

•  Create an easily accessible collection of your favorite albums.

To create a custom Group, follow these steps:
1.  Press the MOVIES key to make sure you are in the Movies source mode, MUSIC key to 

make sure you are in the Music source mode or press the RADIO key if you want to create 
a custom Radio Group.

2.  Press the OPTIONS key to display the Options Menu
3.  Select the GROUPS/NEW GROUP menu item.
4.  Using the remote control or keyboard, enter a name for your Group.
5.  Select the CONTINUE button on screen to advance to the Edit Group Select Guide. The 

Edit Group Select Guide works just like the Music or Radio Guide.

6.  For each Movie, Music Title, or Radio Station you want to add to the Group, highlight the 

Title or Station name and press the SELECT key on the remote. A checkmark appears 
to the right of each selected Title or Station indicating that it will be added to the Group. 
Press SELECT again to remove the checkmark.

7.  When you have selected all of the Titles or Stations you want to include in the group, press 

the RECORD button on the remote control to save the Group.

•  When you are finished creating your Group, the Guide is displayed highlighting the newly 

created Group.

•  Notice that a custom Group is added to the Group Bar along with the System Groups. 

•  The custom Group will always be sorted alphabetically within the Group Bar and appear to 

the right of the All and Playlist Groups.
