The Group Bar

If more than 5 groups exist, the Group Bar displays an arrow pointing right next to the 
right most group. This indicates that additional groups are available.  When you cursor 
past the right most group to access a new group, all of the displayed groups will slide to 
the left. An arrow pointing left will be displayed in the left most group.

There are two System groups created automatically:  ALL which always exists and 
includes all titles and PLAYLISTS which contains custom playlists created by you. 

There are music 15 groups generated automatically based on genre. These groups are: 
Blues, Classical, Country, Dance, Easy, Family, Jazz, Latin, Lite & Easy, New Age, 
Other, Pop, R&B, Rock, and Sound Tracks. Each group will only appear if there is at 
least 1 Title of that genre in the database.  

There are also 26 movie groups generated automatically based on genre. These groups 
are: action, adventure, animated, classic, comedy, dance, drama, eclectic, educational, 
enhanced, exercise, family, fantasy, foreign, holiday, horror, musical, mystery, other, 
romance, sci-fi, sports, suspense, TV, and western.
