Playback position and section

In the Audible mode, the starting position can be moved easily by referring to the Playback Position which is the positional information stored from previous stops for each file, and by referring to “Section” where the content distributor has preset the position.

Playback position

The Playback Position (positional information) is stored in the [.pos] file, which is created automatically by the recorder for each Audible content file ([.aa] file).

The Playback Position is initially located at the beginning of the file, and the stop position will be updated by playback or the use of S. Play (slow playback)/F. Play (fast playback).

Press the 9or 0button to move the stop position while the recorder is stopped. The Playback Position will not be updated.

Section

Up to a maximum 100 divisions (chapters of a story or segments of news) are set arbitrarily for each file by the distributor of the content.

Notes

When a content file is transferred to the recorder, a [.pos] file will be automatically created for each content file in the Audible folder.

You can not set the Index marks in the Audible mode.

When the [*.pos] file is deleted, using Explorer, the stored Playback Position will be deleted. The next time the file is selected, playback starts from the beginning of the file.

When a content file is transferred to the recorder, a system file will be created as a hidden file inside the Audible folder. When this file is deleted using Explorer, it is no longer possible to playback the Audible content.
