Note:The larger the number of songs the system has to index, the
longer indexing will take. Indexing times can vary from device to device.
Search/Play Genre:You can search for and play a specific genre (type)
of music. SYNCwill search all the data from your indexed music and, if

Note:You can only play genres of music which are present in the
GENRE metadata tags that you have on your digital media player.
Similar music:You can tell the system to play music ‘similar’ to what

artist/track or album from the music SYNChas indexed through the
USB port.
Refine:This allows you to ‘refine’ your previous commands. For
