Before continue describing the Display functions, we would like to
talk a little bit on Track Search
TRACK SEARCH
The chart shows the method for selecting tracks once the database
using DB Generator program. Will be presented with an example:
We seek the Track Artist: PROPELLERHEADS Title: DECK & DRUMS &
ROCK & ROLL in "Artist Playlist" mode and so "Playlist Album mode“.
"Artist Playlist” Mode
In the internal menu we have established "Artist" as a search mode
between "NORMAL / TITLE / ARTIST / ALBUM / GENRE.” Once
inserted the USB device the display, in the front row, will show the
name of the first "Artist" in alphabetical order and in the second
row the name the track or tracks (Title) belonging to the "Artist”. By
moving the TRACK control we browse all tracks belonging to the
"Artist" starting with the first letter of the alphabet (in case our USB
device has no "Artist" begins with the letter "A" the first letter the
alphabet will be the name of "Artist"with the letter closest to "A" in
the alphabet).
Press and turn the FOLDER control up to the letter P. In the case of
the drawing we have assumed that the ARTIST is the first in the
track list started with the letter P. After less than a second after you
select a letter appears in the display the information artist name
and track artist that begins with the first letter of the alphabet.
Turn the TRACK control we move through the tracks below.
