Operation

To view the play queue, press the Menu Button to display the Main Menu, and navigate to the Play Queue line. Press the Enter Button. The Play Queue is preserved unless the DMC 1000 is powered down to Full-Off mode (by pressing and holding the Power Off Button on the remote so that the front-panel Power Indicator turns dim blue). If the Play Queue line in the Main Menu is dimmed, the Play Queue has been erased.

The Play Queue is not available during DVD playback, or when The Bridge is the media source.

You may create playlists that are permanently saved by name for future playback.

Programming a Playlist

Playlists are not only a convenient way to store a queue of your favorite songs, but they are required to transfer audio from the Media Library to any of the portable media. See the Content Transfer section for more information.

To program a playlist, display the desired con- tent on screen by selecting the correct source (the Media Library, a card slot, a data CD or a USB device) and selecting the audio or still- image content. Scroll to the desired content, e.g., a song track or file, use the F/G Navigation Buttons to highlight the Add to Playlist command, and press the Enter Button.

A pop-up screen will prompt you to select from an existing playlist, to name a new playlist, or to select an empty prenamed playlist, such as Dance or Chill. See Figure 21. If you select one of the prenamed playlists and have already used that name, a number will be added to the end to differentiate the new playlist. The pop-up dialog box displays up to four playlists at a time. Scroll up or down to view the remaining playlists.

Playlists may be edited by selecting the Playlist View from the Media Library. Press the Menu Button to view the Main Menu, and navigate to the Playlists view in the Media Library. Press the Enter Button, and scroll to the desired playlist. The commands function as expected:

Play Now: Plays the selected playlist immedi- ately, adding it to the Play Queue.

Add to Queue: Adds the selected playlist to the end of the Play Queue.

Add to Playlist: Adds the selected playlist to a new or existing playlist.

Open Playlist: Opens the playlist to allow editing of individual tracks, including removing a track from the playlist, changing the track’s order within the list, selecting the track for immediate play, adding the track

to the Play Queue or a playlist, editing the track’s identifying information or deleting the track from the Media Library.

Edit Name: Opens the character-entry dialog box to rename the playlist.

Delete Playlist: Deletes the playlist (but not its contents) from the Media Library.

Using

The Bridge is an optional dock that may be used with a compatible iPod (not included). When The Bridge is connected to its proprietary input on the DMC 1000 and the iPod is docked, you may enjoy the audio and still-image materials stored on your iPod.

When an iPod is docked in The Bridge, the IPOD FOUND message will appear on the front panel, and a banner with The Bridge icon and the Detected message will appear on screen. The iPod will be in “disc mode,” and its screen will display the “OK to disconnect” message. Do not physically undock the iPod while its content is playing. However, you may select the Undock command at any time.

Select The Bridge as the media source from the Main Menu. The menu shown in Figure 22 will

appear.

Figure 22 – The Bridge menu

Navigate the contents of the iPod in a similar manner to other data media sources. Select between the audio (music) and still-image (photo) content. When Music is selected, you may sort it using views similar to those in the iPod’s own menu: Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Podcasts, Genres, Composers or Audio Books.

Only three options are available for iPod con- tent:

Play Now: Begins play of the selected item immediately. The Play Queue is erased.

Open: If an individual track is selected, it begins play immediately. If the selected item is in any other category, e.g., an artist or album, this com- mand opens the item so you may view its con- tents.
