Playing tracks using x-DJ
The x-DJ function automatically analyzes tracks in the HDD Jukebox and categorizes them
into 23 channels according to their characteristics. You can use x-DJ to play tracks that
correspond to a particular mood or time of day; for example, wake up tracks that play in the
morning, tracks that make you relax, or tracks that raise your spirits. x-DJ can also assemble
tracks according to artist and era.
How does x-DJ work?
x-DJ uses Sony’s 12 Tone Analysis to analyze the characteristics of tracks that have been
recorded or imported to the HDD Jukebox and categorizes them into 23 channels. One
track may be included in two or more channels. From those channels, you can jump to
the additional channels of ARTIST, YEAR, and MOOD by using a function called “Music
Surfin’ ”.
