Playing discs

When a WMA/MP3 file is selected, playback begins, starting with the selected file, and continues until the end of the folder.

When a JPEG file is selected, a slideshow begins, starting with that file, and continues to the end of the folder.

Tip

To play the contents of the whole disc rather than just the current folder, exit the Disc Navigator and start playback using

the (play) button.

Looping a section of a disc

The A-B Repeat function allows you to specify two points (A and B) within a track (CD, Video CD) or title (DVD) that form a loop which is played over and over.
