Direct Search Function
The unit’s direct search function can be used to search for an album, song, etc., more efficiently. In PLAYLIST/ARTIST/ALBUM/SONG/ PODCAST/GENRE/COMPOSER/AUDIOBOOK mode, you can quickly target any song.
In the search mode, press any one of the preset
buttons (1 through 6) to quickly skip over a
designated percent of your song content.
Song search example:
If there are 100 songs in your iPod/iPhone, they are divided into 6 groups using percentages (shown below). These groups are assigned to the preset buttons (1 through 6).
Example 1:
Suppose the song you are searching for is located at around the middle (50%) of your library: press button 4 to jump to the 50th song and turn the Rotary encoder to find the desired song.
Example 2:
Suppose the song you are searching for is located near the end (83%) of your library: press button 6 to jump to the 83rd song and turn the Rotary encoder to find the desired song.
