Playing the Basic Way

Here are the basic controls you can use:
  • Play/Pause button—When music is paused, pressing this button causes it to play again. When music is playing, pressing this button causes the music to pause.
  • Previous/Rewind button—If you press this button once quickly, you will jump back to the start of the song. If you press this button twice quickly, you will jump back to the start of the previous song. If you press and hold this button down, the music will rewind; release the button when you get to the point at which you want it to start playing again.
  • Next/Fast-forward button—Press this button once and you will jump to the start of the next song. Press this button down and hold it, and you will fast-forward the song; release the button when you get to the point in the song where you want to be.
  • Scroll pad/Click Wheel—When the Now Playing screen is shown, drag a digit clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease the volume.

When you touch the Scroll pad or Click Wheel, the Volume bar will appear on the screen to visually indicate the current volume level; the shaded part of the bar represents the current volume level. As you change the volume, the shaded area will expand or contract, depending on whether you increased or decreased the volume. When you release the pad or Wheel, the Volume bar will disappear.

You can only change the volume using the Scroll pad or Click Wheel when the Now Playing screen is shown. That is why the Now Playing option is listed on the Main menu. You can quickly jump to this screen to change the volume when you need to.
