CHAPTER 7. GENERAL SETTINGS 54
Crossfade This setting enables a cross-fader. At the end of a song, the song will fade
out as the next song fades in, creating a smooth transition between songs. The
crossfade setting is particularly effective when the player is set on shuffle.
Options for crossfade settings are:
Enable Crossfade If set to OFF, crossfade is disabled. If set to ALWAYS, songs
will always crossfade into one another. If set to SHUFFLE, crossfade is en-
abled when the shuffle feature is set to YES, but disabled otherwise. If set to
track skip only, tracks will only crossfade when you manually change tracks.
Fade In Delay The “fade in delay” is the length of time between when the cross-
fade process begins and when the new track begins to fade in.
Fade In Duration The length of time, in seconds, that it takes your music to fade
in once the FADE IN DELAY has ended.
Fade Out Delay The “fade out delay” is the length of time between when the
crossfade process begins and when the old track begins to fade out.
Fade Out Duration The length of time, in seconds, that it takes your music to
fade out once the FADE OUT DELAY has ended.
Fade Out Mode If set to CROSSFADE, one song will fade out and the next song
will simultaneously fade in. If set to MIX, the ending song will continue to
play as normal until its end, while the starting song will fade in from under
it. MIX mode is not used for manual track skips, even if it is selected here.
Note: The rules above apply except in the instance where FADE OUT DELAY plus
b
FADE OUT DURATION is less then FADE IN DELAY (which would create a gap in
the audio). In this case, the FADE IN DELAY is reduced to eliminate the gap.
The graphic below illustrates how the different settings work in practice.
