MUSIC – Playlists

A Playlist is a list of songs that the AV 700 will automatically play one after the other. The

AV 700 can load one Playlist at a time into its internal memory. You can create new Playlists,

add or delete songs from a Playlist, or Save a Playlist to be used another time. There is no limit

to the number of Playlists you can save on the AV 700 hard drive. Playlists are indicated by a

special list icon (circled icon to the left).

12.1 Playing a Playlist

To play a Playlist, you simply scroll to the Playlist, such as ‘Sample

Playlist’ shown to the left, and click on PLAY. The list of songs will be

loaded into the internal memory of the AV 700 and then be displayed

in a separate panel.

Click on PLAY and the songs will be played in the order shown. To

shufﬂ e the music entries in a random order, you can click on the Manage Playlist action icon, then choose

Shufﬂ e . If you delete a Playlist from your AV 700, you are only deleting the list and not the music itself.

12.2 Creating a Playlist

To create a Playlist, select the Open Playlist panel action icon while

you are in the Music browser. A second panel will open on the right

side to display the Playlist contents. You can now start adding songs

to the current Playlist. In the left panel, locate the songs you would

like to add to your Playlist. Once the song is highlighted, click on the

RIGHT or ENTER button or select the Add to Playlist action icon to

add it to the Playlist. The song will be added to the Playlist and a small

mark next to the music icon will be made to indicate that it is in the

Playlist. Continue searching and adding songs in this manner until

you are satisﬁ ed. You can select the Add or Insert action buttons

when highlighting a folder, artist, or album. All the contents of the folder, artist, or album will be added

(that is, appended) or inserted before the selected song in the current Playlist.

You can jump back and forth between the browser and the Playlist by selecting the Focus buttons. A

Playlist can have a maximum of 5000 songs. We recommend that you save your Playlists.

12.3 Saving a Playlist

It is recommended that each time you create a Playlist, you save it

to a separate folder called Playlists. These lists take very little space

on your hard drive and if well named, give you easy access to your

favorite songs. Go to the Playlist by selecting Music from the main

menu and then select the Open Playlist panel action icon. You will

then see the list of songs in the current Playlist. Use the action button

to focus on the right panel, then select the Manage Playlists action

icon, and select Save . ATTENTION : Make sure that your left panel is

the Playlists folder because the open panel on the left is the location

the AV 700 will be saving your Playlist to.

Save Saves the current playlist to the folder open in the left panel. The * after the Playlist name indicates that this playlist

has not been saved.

Close Clears the Playlist and closes the Playlist panel.

Rename Renames the current playlist.

Clear Clears the contents of the current playlist.

Shufﬂ e Randomly shufﬂ es the order of the songs in the current playlist.

The following Playlist action icons are also available

Icon: Remove Track Will delete the highlighted song from the Playlist. It will not delete the actual song itself from your hard drive, just from

the current Playlist.

Icon: Move track Allows you to change the place in the list of the highlighted song. Click on Move and then click on UP or DOWN to

move the song up or down the list. Click OK when ﬁ nished.
