there are six different Play Modes to choose from:

•  Normal – play each track in order in the current Title, then stop.
•  Repeat Track – repeat the same track over and over until you select stop.
•  Repeat Title – play each track in the current Title in order then repeat the 

entire disc until you select stop.

•  Repeat Group – play each track in each title in the current group and then 

repeat them until you select stop.

•  Random Title –randomly select and play a track from within the current 

title. Continue until you select stop or every track in the current title is 
played.

•  Random Group – randomly select and play a track from any title in the 

current group. Continue until you select stop or every track in the current 
group is played

To change the current Play Mode, select the 

PLAY MODE

 key on the left edge 

of the screen. Each press of the 

PLAY MODE

 key will switch to the next Play 

Mode. Stop pressing the 

PLAY MODE

VIEWING BY GENRE

In addition to the current Guide View, the 

Music Guide

 automatically organizes 

your Music into default “Genres” also called “Groups”. The Group Bar displays 
a horizontal scrolling list of Genres corresponding to the music in your library. 
Five Genres or Groups are visible at one time. The “All” genre is the default, 
which displays all Titles in your Music Library.

LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons appear on the left and right edges of the 
Group Bar when more Groups are available. Pressing these arrows scrolls the 
Group Bar horizontally by one or 5 items at a time. Notice that the list of Titles 
updates to show only Titles in the selected Genre.

•  Scroll all the way to the left to return to the All Genre.
•  Genre list will scroll to the right to reveal more Genres.
•  Refer to the section “Managing Your Media” for instructions on creating 

your own Genres to create custom groupings of your favorite music titles
