USING THE UTILITY

CREATING LIBRARIES

This unit supports the creation of libraries for large-capacity USB storage devices, thus allowing categorizing numerous tracks by album name, artist name, and genre, and facilitating smooth track selection.

Library creation, updating, and deletion are performed with the UTILITY screen.

MEMO

•Library creation and updating requires increasing amounts of time in correspondence to the number of files. (As a general estimate, creation of a library for 5000 files may take about 30 minutes. Additional time may be required when creating libraries for a folder containing a large number of sub-folders and files.)

•By using a computer, you can create libraries even faster. Library creation programs can be downloaded from the following website: http://prodjet.com/support

1Connect the USB storage device on which you wish to create a library.

2On the UTILITY screen, select [BROWSE], then select [LIBRARY <USB1>] or [LIBRARY <USB2>] in accordance with the device on which you wish to create the library; finally, press either the down () button or rotary selector dial.

MEMO

•Library creation/updating/deletion cannot be performed when a track is currently playing.

3Rotate the rotary selector dial and select the desired operation [CREATE/UPDATE/DELETE/CANCEL], then press the rotary selector dial.

NOTE

•Creation of a library requires from about several-hundred bytes to 1 Kbyte of storage space per track.

•Updating a library requires approximately 2 KB of open space on the device per track.
