Using the Touchscreen Controls
Your player comes equipped with an easy-to-use touch-
screen that controls all of its functions. Different controls
will be available to you based on the mode that the player
is in.
Use your nger tip to touch the area of the screen where a
control icon is displayed. If you touch and hold an icon, it
will register as a continuous button press.
You can also use your nger to swipe up/down or left/right
to move the selection up/down or left/right, respectively.
Do not use force when touching the screen, as it
may cause damage to the screen.
To avoid damage to the screen, do not use any ob-
ject other than your ngers to operate it.
Avoid touching the screen if your ngers are not
clean.
