5.1. Navigation in Audio
5.1.1. Navigation without folders
The navigation is very simple if you store your files in the root directory of the SD memory
card without using folders. Just press "Left arrow" to go to the previous file and "Right
arrow" to go to the next file. The files are sorted alphabetically.
5.1.2. Navigation with folders
If you store your files in folders you need to use the vertical axis as well. You have to
imagine the 4 press-buttons around "Play" as a directional pad.
With the arrow buttons you jump from one folder or file to the other. Use "Mode" to go one
level lower and consequently enter the folder. Use "Rec" to go up again and leave the
folder.
Example: Let us assume you want to listen to your favorite Elvis Presley song.
You have a folder "Music" and a folder "Text" on your SD memory card. In the folder
"Music" you find two subfolders, "Oldies" and "Country". Among others, you stored your
favorite Elvis song in the subfolder "Oldies".
Use the arrow buttons to move between the folders "Music" and "Text" in the root directory.
Select "Music" and press "Mode" to enter the folder and consequently go one level lower.
