Using the Search Mode

The Search mode is a powerful tool to find specific songs, albums or artists within your I-Mix music collection. Use the Search mode to find and play music in your collection. (Use Intelligent CD Recognition to attach names to albums and songs from the database.) You can instruct the I-Mix to search your music collection by artist, album or song. A list of possible matches will be displayed on the remote control screen. The Search function is case insensitive, that is, it does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters.

It may help to understand how the search function operates. Search looks at the beginning of a word or the whole word to match your entry. For example, entering the word “the” will result in matching all titles with “the” anywhere in the title, such as “Somewhere over the Rainbow” or “The Long and Winding Road”. It will also match any titles containing words which begin with the letters “t...h...e “ such as “There I Go Again”.

You can enter either a letter category, keyword(s) or the exact title as search information. Using

correct names and titles will make your search more effective. Remember, the more complete the search information you provide, the faster and more effective the search results will be.

Note: Using the Down (▼) arrow will enable you to view the first 99 matches on the remote display. The remaining titles will not be displayed. Change the parameters of your search to narrow the list.

Tip: Typing errors can be corrected by using the Right and Left arrows to re-position the cursor and the Backspace button to erase characters. If you press the backspace more than three consecutive times, all the characters will disappear and the cursor will return to the far side of the screen.
