Adding a Bookmark to a Song
Starting from one of the four categories in the Music Archive 
menu, you can continue sifting and finally reach a song-level 
list view. Press the BOOKMARK button on the remote 
control, or select Bookmark from the Tool menu. A sky-blue 
arrow appears at the left of a song name that’s currently 
selected. It’s the bookmark.
You can use the bookmark to mark songs for your specific 
purpose, such as ‘Theme Songs for My Life’ or ‘Songs for 
the Next Party’ or anything you want. To remove the 
bookmark, once again move the selection (highlight) to the 
song and press the BOOKMARK button on the remote 
control or select Bookmark from the Submenu. 
You can see a list of bookmarked songs by selecting 
Bookmarks from the Music Archive menu.
From this list, you can selectively play bookmarked songs. 
The Submenu commands let you view detailed information 
for the current song, open its source album, organize the 
current bookmark list by removing the bookmark from the 
current song (the current song will disappear from the list), 
and even save the current list as a new playlist (by naming it 
as ‘Theme Songs for My Life’ if you like). In addition, you can 
arrange the song order by editing the stored playlist.
n Because you can also add or remove the bookmark using the 
relevant Submenu command in the Play Information screen, you can 
decide to add or remove it while listening to each archived song.
Play Information and Controls
When you start playback of archived music from a group list 
(a list view of artists, albums, genres or all songs), a Play 
Information screen appears. This screen provides the unique 
song data of the current song, such as the song title, audio 
format, source album, performing artist and genre, as well as 
the group from which you started playback. (Song data will 
be shown in a different order depending on where song 
playback is started.)

The Submenu commands in the Play Information screen for 
archived songs:
Playback: Provides the same playback control functions as 
available on the remote control. So, you can control the song 
playback simply using the cursor controller on the front panel 
or from a PS/2 keyboard (only with cursor and enter keys). 
Group selection buttons (+/–) only work when you can 
access the next or previous group, such as other albums 
from the same artist or genre. On-screen group selection 
buttons turn gray and don’t work if you start playback from 
All Songs.
Repeat: Select the repeat playback mode. Select Single 
(
) to repeat a single song from the current group, or All 
(
) to repeat all songs from the current group. Select OFF 
to stop repeat playback.
Random: Turns the random playback mode on or off.
Group: Select Single to play only the current group, or All to 
play all other groups in the same category.
Time view: Switches the playback time display between 
elapsed or remaining time. 
Bookmark: Adds or removes the bookmark to the current 
song.
