NAVIGATING THE

be accessed and selected by the
MENU/SELECT knob. However
t

be accessed by the Quick keys for
easy selection. These will be
described in details in the ‘Quick

allow quick selection of particular
functions. These will be described in
detail below.

When the user is tuned to a digital

timings are approximate and
depend on the data rate of the
transmission).
In file mode (i.e. playing fr
om the
SD/MMC card), pressing this button
will pause or play the current
selected file.
