Playlist

This menu lists all of the playlists on the CF card. The currently loaded playlist shows [current] next to its name. Select the current playlist and press ENTER to edit it. Select a different playlist and press ENTER to load it.

When the Playback Mode is set to Playlist, the HD-R1 will play back the tracks as defined by the current playlist. (During playback, if the required audio file is not found, the machine will skip it and go to the next track in the playlist.)

NOTE

Simultaneously pressing SHIFT+SKIP ≤ keys is a shortcut to the menu for the current playlist.

Included at the bottom of the list of playlists are some special menu items. These are:

Create New Playlist

Creates a new automatically-named, empty playlist and makes it the current playlist.

Rename Playlist

Brings up a list of playlist. Selecting one of them permits it to be renamed.

Copy Playlist

Brings up a list of playlist. Selecting one of them will copy it, giving it an automatically-generated name.

Delete Playlist

Edit playlist

If you select Playlist from the Main Menu, the playlist appears with “(current)” next to the current playlist name. Select the current playlist and press ENTER to open the Edit Playlist menu.

This menu lists all of the entries in the playlist in the order they will be played, top to bottom. In addition to the playlist entries, there is always a special menu item called Add Entry To Bottom provides a way to add an entry to the bottom of the playlist. This screen shows a playlist with the Add Entry To

Bottom menu item.

To quickly reposition the highlighted entry in the list, press the TIME key to jump to the Change

Playlist Position feature and use the SHUTTLE/DATA wheel to move up and down in the list. Please note that this means that the TIME key’s normal function is unavailable while viewing the Edit Playlist screen.

Add Entry To Bottom

Selecting Add Entry To Bottom takes you to a menu that shows all audio files on the CF card. Folders are indicated by a right arrow icon and audio files are indicated by [add]. Highlight a folder and press ENTER to see the contents of that folder. Press CANCEL to see the contents of the parent folder. If the top-level folder is being displayed, pressing CANCEL returns to the Edit Playlist screen. Highlight an audio file and press ENTER to add an entry to the playlist.

Playlist Menu

When viewing the Edit Playlist screen for the current playlist, if you select a track and press the ENTER key, the following menu appears, and you can make various changes to the settings for that track.

Change Playlist Position

Provides a way to reposition this playlist entry within the list. Once selected, the SHUTTLE/DATA wheel or the computer keyboard up and down arrow keys may be used to reposition the playlist entry. Pressing CANCEL aborts the operation, leaving the playlist unchanged. Pressing ENTER changes the position.

Remove from playlist

Removes this entry from the playlist.

Start/End

This menu item displays the time where playback will begin and end for this track. Selecting this menu item leads to a screen that shows both the start and end times and permits them to be edited. Times may be edited directly or specified by choosing existing markers from a list. While viewing this screen, the SKIP µ and SKIP ≤ keys are used to navigate the data fields, the SHUTTLE/DATA wheel changes time values, and pressing ENTER on Use Mark will bring up a screen listing the file’s markers to use as a start or end time.
