Selecting and playing individual tracks from a USB or SD card.

Press and hold the PLAY/PAUSE button.
Use the forward/back buttons to select the required track.
Release the PLAY/PAUSE button.
Your selected track will now be cue’d and paused and will play when the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed again.

Useful tips for getting most out of your playback facility during a live performace :
Record a track with no sound on it it, say 30 seconds long. Call this track ‘001 – Silence’ and make sure it”s always the first track in your file. The reason to do this, is to allow you sufficient time when inserting your memory stick to allow you to enter the play/pause track cueing facility without accidentally playing a track. You can then select the track want leaving the player in PAUSE ready for the performance.

Add a few seconds (up to about 30 seconds) of no sound (quiet) to the end of all of your recorded tracks.
The player will automatically play the next track in sequence if you have multiple tracks, so adding this quiet section to your tracks allows you time to stop your player and cue your next track, to avoid the player going into an unwanted track

Installation
