Crossfade
This setting enables a cross-fader. At the end of a song, the song will fade
out as the next song fades in, creating a smooth transition between songs. The
crossfade setting is particularly effective when the player is set on shuffle.
Options for crossfade settings are:
Enable Crossfade
If set to O
FF
, crossfade is disabled. If set to A
LWAYS
, songs
will always crossfade into one another. If set to S
HUFFLE
, crossfade is en-
abled when the shuffle feature is set to Y
ES
, but disabled otherwise. If set to
track skip only, tracks will only crossfade when you manually change tracks.
Fade In Delay
The “fade in delay” is the length of time between when the cross-
fade process begins and when the new track begins to fade in.
Fade In Duration
The length of time, in seconds, that it takes your music to fade
in once the F
ADE
I
N
D
ELAY
has ended.
Fade Out Delay
The “fade out delay” is the length of time between when the
crossfade process begins and when the old track begins to fade out.
Fade Out Duration
The length of time, in seconds, that it takes your music to
fade out once the F
ADE
O
UT
D
ELAY
has ended.
Fade Out Mode
If set to C
ROSSFADE
, one song will fade out and the next song
will simultaneously fade in. If set to M
IX
, the ending song will continue to
play as normal until its end, while the starting song will fade in from under
it. M
IX
mode is not used for manual track skips, even if it is selected here.
Note:
The rules above apply except in the instance where F
ADE

D
ELAY
plus
b

is less then F

(which would create a gap in
the audio). In this case, the F

is reduced to eliminate the gap.
