Pause will stop the song currently playing but save its position (and its position in the current play list). When you pause a song, the Pause button is replaced by a Play button.

Using the Now Playing Box to Launch Music Browser

The very top portion of the Music Mode screen is a Now Playing box that shows you the name, position, and quality of the song that is cur- rently playing. You can touch the screen anywhere inside the Now Playing box to open the music browser, which lets you choose the song or play list to play next.

The music browser is a screen showing the file structure of your music drive, including all of the songs and play lists available as well as any subfolders. If you've sorted your music by album or artist, you can se- lect the folder you wish and play only the songs in that folder, or you can choose a particular song to play right away.

We'll describe the Music Browser under the heading "Play Lists" later in this section.

Using the Visualization Area to Change Effects

The Visualization Area takes up the center of the Music Mode display and provides either a Waveform Analyzer or Spectrum Analyzer effect in time with the music that's playing. You can touch anywhere inside the Visualization Area to toggle between these two effect types. They can also be toggled using a button in the Music Menu, as described later in this section.

In addition to all these on-screen commands, the Music Mode has its own menu, which is used to access several commands and to set various options. To access the Music Menu, in Music Mode, press the MENU key. We'll describe the various options in the Music Menu in detail later in this section.

The following page contains an 11-step "Practice Run" that will walk you through the most basic Music Mode operations. Following just the steps outlined here, you can start using the iWAY to listen to your fa- vorite songs in no time.

The Lowrance electronic 500C is a high-performance fish finder and chartplotter designed to enhance the fishing experience for enthusiasts and professionals alike. This versatile device is well-known for its user-friendly interface, advanced technologies, and essential features that help anglers locate and catch fish with increased efficiency.

One of the standout features of the Lowrance 500C is its impressive display. The unit is equipped with a 5-inch, sunlight-readable color screen that provides crystal-clear images, ensuring visibility even in bright conditions. The high-resolution display makes it easy to interpret underwater structures, fish signals, and other important data at a glance.

The 500C utilizes advanced sonar technology, including Lowrance's CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) sonar, which offers superior target separation and clarity compared to traditional sonar systems. This technology enables anglers to discern individual fish from bait schools and identify the type and size of structure below the water's surface. The device also features DownScan imaging, providing detailed views of the underwater environment, including bottom contours and vegetation.

With preloaded mapping options and the ability to add detailed charts via SD card, users can easily navigate their favorite fishing spots. The unit includes waypoints, routes, and track plotting features, making it simple to return to successful fishing locations.

The 500C also boasts a range of additional features designed to enhance functionality and convenience on the water. It includes advanced filtering options that help eliminate clutter on the screen, allowing users to focus on important data. The device is also compatible with various Lowrance accessories, such as radar and stereo systems, offering a customizable experience tailored to individual preferences.

Durability is another key aspect of the Lowrance 500C. It is built to withstand harsh marine environments, with a weather-resistant casing that protects it from water splashes and exposure to the elements.

Overall, the Lowrance electronic 500C is a reliable and feature-rich tool for anglers seeking to improve their fishing success. With its combination of cutting-edge technology, user-friendly interface, and robust build, it's a valuable asset for anyone serious about achieving their fishing goals.
