Manual control and its options

  • Manual control works on touch screens, or with a remote control that has a navigation pad.
  • Select Manual control of playlist to stop the playlist from playing automatically. The options below appear.
  • On the screen, swipe left and right to move between the playlist’s media.

 

Screensaver

  • The screensaver plays another playlist when the screen is idle.
  • To set a screensaver, choose one of your playlists in Screensaver.
  • Reset timeout (seconds): if the screen is not on the first slide, it returns to the first slide after this time. If a screensaver is set, this is also how long the screen stays idle before the screensaver plays.

 

  • Select Show Navigation Buttons to show left and right arrows on the screen during manual control.
  • This is how the navigation buttons look on the screen:
