command altogether.

Search Options
To search for a specific selection by spelling it out, you can press the Searc h [] button on your

Search key on the remote will display a message.)
Whether you use the Search menu or the remote button, you will see the following o ptions:
Search for Titl es

you make a mistake, use the Down button to go to the Delete option and press Selec t.)
Hint: Partial spelling is OK — the Search functi on searches for letters anywhere in the
word, as opposed to just at the beginning. For example, to search for Radiohea d, you
can enter any combination of letters found in the word (“RA ,” “DI,” “HE,” etc.), and the
results will return all Artists containing those letters (e. g., if you enter “DI” you may get
Radiohead, India Arie, and Diana Krall).
