BDS Playing Files from USB Devices and CD Data Discs, and Using Playlists Selecting a music file plays the file. If there are other music files in the folder that follow the selected file, the receiver will play them in the order they appear on the on-screen display. The following screen will appear while music files play: 1 / 10 00 : 02 : 37 Type: Total Time: Title: Artist: Album: Genre: MP3 03:29 Beanwater Junction, Part 1 Jugalbandi Night Crazy Progressive If a selected MP3 file has an album cover-art ID3 tag, the art will be displayed on the screen. Use the Play, Pause, Stop, Prev/Step, Next/Step, Search Down/Slow and Search Up/Slow buttons to control music-file playback. See Remote Control Functions, on page 8, for more information about the functions of these buttons.

The active repeat mode is indicated in the screen's top bar.
