A daily schedule is created, like a playlist, by adding 
playlists and control commands to the Daily Schedule 
window with drag & drop operations.

The red line in the Daily Schedule window indicates the 
daily five-minute NSP-1 sleep time. As the NSP-1 does not 
play anything nor receive any data during the sleep time, 
the BZNP-D1 does not allow you to specify any playlist or 
control commands on this line.

A new daily schedule is created in the following 
procedure:

In the BZNP-D1 main window, check that the BZNP-
D1 (PC) option button is selected, and select the group 
for which you want to create a new daily schedule 
using the Group drop-down list box.

If an unsaved playlist and/or daily schedule for a 
different group is displayed, the BZNP-D1 software 
displays a message asking whether you want to save it.
Save it, if necessary.

Proceed to the next step if the Daily Schedule window 
is blank.
When a daily schedule is displayed, select [Daily 
Schedule] > [New] on the menu bar.
Or, select the Daily Schedule tab in the Content 
Management window, right-click any point on the 
Daily Schedule tab, then select [New] on the popup 
menu.

If the displayed daily schedule has not been saved, the 
BZNP-D1 software displays a message asking 
whether you want to discard it.
Save the displayed daily schedule, if necessary.

Select the desired playlist in the Content Management 
window, then add it to the daily schedule by a drag & 
drop operation.
You can also add control commands to the Control 
column in the same way.

The color of the cell where the event is specified 
changes to light blue.

In the Daily Schedule window, added playlist events 
are shown by their title and control commands are 
shown by marks corresponding to the targets. When 
you move the mouse pointer over a title or a mark, a 

popup window showing the index, type, and title 
appears.

If necessary, edit the newly added event, for example, 
by modifying the duration or start time of the event.

See “Daily schedule editing functions” on page 48 for 
detailed information on daily schedule editing 
functions.

Select [Daily Schedule] > [Save] on the menu bar of 
the main window.

The daily schedule is saved. It appears on the Daily 
Schedule tab of the Content Management window.

Specify the type and title of the saved daily schedule.
Select the daily schedule in the Content Management 
window, then click its Type or Title column. This 
makes the column editable.
Specify the type (up to 20 characters) or title (up to 40 
characters), and then press the Enter key. 

To finish working with this daily schedule, select 
[Daily Schedule] > [New] on the menu bar of the main 
window to clear the Daily Schedule window.
