Searching
Searching provides fast, direct access to a track or tracks by matching text that you enter. First, select
the type of search you want to perform...
Rotate the PUSH TO ENTER knob or use the arrow keys on the keyboard (if connected) to select the
type of search. The search type can be:
All
Title
Album
Artist
Once you have selected the desired type of search,
press the PUSH TO ENTER knob (or Tab on the
keyboard) to move to the text entry box. Now start to
enter the search text, either by rotating the PUSH TO
ENTER knob or with an attached USB keyboard. The
character you are entering is previewed on the right

through the list using the PUSH TO ENTER knob, or
press again to move back to the search type option.
Please note that the first character you enter is a special case - it is always matched against the first
character of each tag. So, for example, to list all tracks with a title starting with the letter "D", select a
Title search and enter "D".
If a second character is entered, the search text is matched to any position within each tag. So, to
search for tracks on an album containing the word "Love", select an Album search, enter "LOVE"
(upper or lower case is not important) and select Done. The search will match tracks on any album with
the word "Love" in its title, such as "The Greatest Love Songs", "Love Boat" and "A Lovely Collection".
Note that searching always returns a list of tracks - you can narrow down by artist, album or other tags
and you will see the tracks that are contained within that album or by that artist, etc.
Except when entering text, the search screen offers a set of menu options which refer to the currently
highlighted track. If no track is highlighted then only the Back option is available.
