Negotiating the MP3 Directory
The ROOT Level
The ROOT Level contains the name of the disc, but no folder or song information. The first song on
the disc will automatically begin playing when a disc is inserted.
Directly Selecting a Song by Title
The MP3 file management system is a folder-based system similar to the Windows™ File Manager.
Because of this, the DIR
/
(UP and DOWN) keys function differently than they do in CD
Mode. Instead of going forward or backward through your disc respectively, they go up and down
through the file list.
1. Press the ROOT button and the display will show the disc name. The display will then
immediately switch to show the name of the first folder on the disc and display it for 5
seconds. If no action is taken during this 5 second period, the display will default back to the
song currently playing.
2. While the name of the first folder is showing, press the DOWN button to scroll through the list
of folders. Press the UP button to scroll back up through the folders.
3. Press the ENTER (BAND) button and "
••
" will be displayed, indicating you are in the folder.
4. Press the DOWN button to scroll through the items (songs or sub-folders) contained in the
selected folder. Press the UP button to scroll back through the items.
NOTE
: The item (song or sub-folder) name will remain displayed for 5 seconds in steps 1 through 4
above. If no action is taken during this 5 second period, the display will default back to the
song currently playing.
5. Press ENTER to select the song to play or the next sub-folder. If entering a sub-folder, return to
step 3.
DOWN Button
When playing an MP3 track and the DOWN button is pressed, the player will take you to the
beginning of the same track as long as the playing track has been playing for more than 10 seconds.
If the track is within 10 seconds of its beginning, pressing the DOWN button will take the player to
the beginning of the previous track.
Direct Track Access
Direct Track Access allows any track to be immediately selected and played. This method is faster
than manually cycling through each track on the disc. MP3's work with a three (3) digit access.
1. Press the T-ACC (AS–TRACK ACC) button once to select Direct Track Access mode.
2. Press the number, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0, to access the desired track on the disc.
EXAMPLE
:
Pressing the T-ACC (AS–TRACK ACC) button, then 021 takes you to track 21, pressing 12 takes you
to track 12 and so forth. Pressing just one (1) or two (2) digits, 11, and the ENTER button will take
you to track 11. Without pressing ENTER, the system will go to the track after 5 seconds.
