THE AUDIO LIBRARY

The television user interface has been designed to allow easy navigation through the

Audio Library

and therefore give quick

and easy access to your complete music collection in a number of different ways. Each screen in the

Audio Library

is carefully

constructed to provide the most important information about the items you are viewing.

The illustration below shows how the

Audio Library

screens are structured and describes each part of the screen, the

information displayed and the functions available. The example shows the

Tracks

screen for the album

Cold Water Songs

,

however all navigation screens in the

Audio Library

are similar in construction.
