16 BROWSER - Using the Browser

The browser is used to navigate the file system on the AV400. The file system is FAT32, the same type of file system that is found on Windows® based computers. That is, it is a hierarchical system which includes folders and subfolders. Because you will be putting hundreds of files on your AV400,

it is STRONGLY ADVISED that keep a neat and orderly file structure. Otherwise, you will be spending time searching for files and not listening or watching them. We suggest that on the first level of your file structure, you include the folders: Data, Music, Playlists, Photo, Video, and Voice.

The folders Music, Photo and Video are special folders in that the icons on the main screen lead to these folders and then places you directly in that folder. If these folders are deleted, you will be placed at the root level (highest level) of the directory hierarchy.

16.1Navigating the Directory Structure

Just below the top status bar, you can see the path to the directory you are currently viewing.

To navigate the directory structure you will use:

ENTER Open the highlighted folder (directory) or Play the highlighted file.

ESC/STOP Go back to the main menu.

Go to the parent directory (go back up one level).

Example: Go from folder /Music/Wes Burden/ to /Music.

You can also use the Left navigation button to go to the parent directory.
