Figure 34 – Media Library
The Media Library lists the items (in this case, albums) in your collection,
with the current selection highlighted by a magnifying bar. The cover art,
or an icon if the cover art could not be found, is highlighted. Press the
Enter Button to expand the album into a track view.
NOTE: You may have noticed that letters appear above the
Numeric Keys on the remote. The DMC 1000 is capable of
using alphabetic characters as well as numbers, which allows
you to search the Media Library by entering the Numeric Key
corresponding to the first letter of your selection. Each Numeric Key
represents three letters. The first press jumps to the selections
beginning with the first letter in the group, and the character-entry
dialog box appears. You may enter additional letters to refine
your search or change the first letter by navigating to the Clear
command and repeatedly pressing the Numeric Key until the desired
letter appears in the text bar. Navigate to the Done command
when you have finished entering a search term. Alphanumeric
entry is also used to edit content tags and to name playlists.
See Figure 35.

Navigation Buttons to scroll through the playback options
described below. The availability of each of these options and commands
depends on how the Media Library is sorted.
• Play Now: The current selection is played immediately, replacing other

be played. It is saved until the DMC 1000 is powered down to Full-Off
mode (dim blue).

Queue, and the media currently playing continues until it is finished.
The Play Queue may be accessed from the Main Menu.

playlist. A dialog box will pop up, asking you to select from the existing
playlists or create a new one (see Figure 36). The DMC 1000 is
programmed with several empty playlists named to fit different moods
or occasions, including Dance and Dinner. Up to four playlists are
shown at a time. The playlists may be accessed from the Main Menu.
