Selecting the current folder or current playlist

If you’ve specified that the play area will be a folder or playlist, you can select the applicable folder or play list by using the front panel ∆ , ˚ keys (or the remote’s SEARCH ∆ , ˚ keys) while the home screen is displayed and the recorder is stopped. This folder or playlist will be called the “current folder” or “current playlist”.

NOTE

•You can also select the “current folder” or “current playlist” from the folder finder screen or playlist finder screen (see “Using the folder finder” on page 45, “Using the playlist finder” on page 50).

•A maximum of 999 tracks can be played back by the SS-R1. Even if a CompactFlash card containing more than 999 tracks is inserted in the SS-R1, only the 999 tracks selected according to the SS-R1 system’s rules can be played back. Other tracks cannot be played back or edited.

Basic playback operations

Here we’ll explain basic operations such as play, pause, and stop.

The following explanations assume that you’ve completed the necessary connections, that the SS-R1 is powered-on,

that a CompactFlash card containing audio files is insert- ed, and that the display is showing the home screen.

Playback

Press the PLAY key to begin playback.

NOTE

If the CompactFlash card does not contain any audio files that the SS-R1 is able to play, the counter display area (track number and time display) will show all zeros.

•To stop playback

Press the STOP key.

•To pause playback

Press the READY key.

In this manual, we’ll assume that the play mode is set to CONTINUE (continuous playback mode) unless otherwise specified.

Selecting a track

Here’s how to select the track for playback if more than one track exists in the play area. You can select a track either by moving to the previous or next track (“skip”), or by specifying a track number directly.

Skipping to the previous or next track

Turn the front panel MULTI JOG dial (or use the remote’s SKIP keys) to skip to the previous or next track.

•If using the MULTI JOG dial, turn it to the right to skip to the next track, or to the left to skip to the pre- vious track.

•If using the SKIP keys, press the ≤ key to skip to the next track, or the µ key to skip to the previous track.

After selecting a track, press PLAY key on the front panel or the remote to begin playing the track.

Alternatively, you can press the READY key of the front panel or the remote to pause at the beginning of the selected track.
