If the connected device and media content is supported, SYNC will begin
indexing available media files. NO MEDIA will appear if there are no
readable media files for SYNC to play. If there are readable files,
INDEXING may appear. If Autoplay is ON, SYNC gives you the ability to
access media files randomly as they are indexed. If Autoplay is OFF,
indexed media is not available until the indexing process is complete.
After indexing is complete, INDEXED will appear.
Once indexing is complete, you may press
/to access the
previous/next track. You may also press
/to play/pause the
current track.
Note:SYNC is capable of indexing thousands of average size media files.
The time required to complete the indexing process is dependent upon
the size of the media content being indexed.
If at any time the device is removed
from the USB port, USB REMOVED
will appear.

Supported media players, formats and metadata information
SYNC is capable of hosting nearly any digital media player, including
iPod
, Zune™, “Plays from device” players, and most USB drives.
Supported audio formats include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.
SYNC is also able to organize and sort your indexed media from your
playing device by metadata tags. Metadata tags are descriptive software
identifiers embedded in your media files which provide information about
the media file. SYNC supports the following metadata tags:
•Artist
•Album
•Genre
•Track
If your indexed media files contain no information embedded in these
metadata tags, SYNC will automatically classify the empty metadata tags
as UNKNOWN.

At any time while a track is playing, SYNC will read the metadata tags of
the track to you (if populated). Simply press
