Selecting and Playing Media
Content
You can now select a device or a service using the
/
buttons.
The selected list point is shown enlarged, and can be called up by pressing the
button.
The content of the device is displayed in the form of a list. The individual list
entries are followed either by a folder symbol (
) or a note symbol ( ).
You can now again move to the individual list points using the
/
buttons, and open them with the
button.
If the list entry you open is a folder, the screen displays the contents of the
folder: you can now navigate further within the new folder.
If the entry is followed by a note symbol, this indicates that the content is
playable (pieces of music, playlists, radio station etc.). If you open an entry of
this type, its content will be played.
The lists and music tracks you can see when you select a device vary
according to the machine and the transferred data.
Alpha-Search
(Letter Search Function)
When you are navigating through lists you can call up the K8 letter search
function at any time by briefly pressing the
button. The screen now
displays the message ‘Search _’. While this is on the screen, enter up to five
letters or numerals using the remote control handset; the letters assigned to the
numeric buttons are printed below the buttons. To obtain a particular letter,
press the appropriate button repeatedly until the correct letter appears on the
screen. Before entering the next character you have to wait until the cursor is
displayed again. After pressing the
button or after a brief delay with no
further input the K8 moves to the first entry in the list which starts with the
characters you entered. You can abort the search using the
-button.
If the text searched for is not found the best matching result will be shown.
