Using the List View

Selecting a List Item

When a certain group in the music archive is listed, names or titles of artists, albums or songs (list items) are sorted in alphabetical order. You may easily find a target artist or song as long as you have a small number of songs in your music archive. But, as your archive grows, it may become more difficult to find a target item. You can solve this problem by using the PAGE scroll buttons on the remote control.

PAGE Scroll Buttons

If you select Artists for the search category, you will see a list of artists whose songs are stored in your music archive. Since a total count of artists is shown in the list header (in sky blue), you can expect how many screens you must scroll through to see the entire list.

In the above screen, you know there are 13 artists in the list so you can see all their names by scrolling down the list once. (The monitor screen shows up to ten list items at a time.) Every time you press a PAGE scroll button, you can see the next or previous ten items in the list. If you press the down arrow button at the last item, the list ‘wraps around’ back to the first item of the list. Oppositely, you can quickly wrap around to the last item by pressing the up arrow button at the first item of the list. When you find a target artist name in the list, just move the selection (highlight) there, using the up or down arrow buttons on the cursor controller.

The PAGE scroll buttons work with any list view, regardless of whether the list is sorted in alphabetical order or not. In addition to searching in a list from your music archive, you can also use the PAGE scroll buttons to easily search in a long song list from a music CD or an MP3 CD.
