Searching for a desired Song
An iPod can contain hundreds of songs. By using file tag information
and keeping these songs organized in playlists, this unit’s search
functions will ease song searches.
Each music category has its own individual hierarchy. Use the Playlist/
Artist/Album/Song/Podcast/Genre/Composer/Audiobook search mode
to narrow searches based on the table below.

• If a video-compatible iPod is connected, you can select a movie or
music clip, etc., from a displayed list.
If a song containing an image is played back, a VIDEO icon is
displayed.
