Music Guide

 allows you to browse, locate, and play all of your music in 

one easy to use on-screen guide.

Music Guide

 displays a list of all your Music Titles. Using the Page 

buttons on the right edge of the screen, you can scroll up and down the list.

list of the Title’s 

Tracks

.

Select the Title again to collapse the current Title and hide the track names. 

PLAYING THE CURRENT TITLE

from track 1. 

Note: If you select a track name, you will start playback from the selected Track.

You’ll notice that a new screen appears with a list of the songs (or tracks) on 
the current Title, this is the 

Music Player

 screen. The 

Music Player

 displays 

the artist name, album name, album cover art, and track list for the current 
Title.
