PROGRAMMING A PLAYLIST
You may program a playlist for any type of disc except for VCDs by
following these steps:
1. If the disc is playing press the Stop button. Playlists may only be
programmed in Stop mode.
2. If the Player Information screen is not visible, press the OSD button
to display it. Make sure to press the Program icon on the left side of
the screen so that you may view the column indicating the play order
of the tracks, chapters or titles. Navigate until the Disc List setting is
highlighted. See Figure 81.

3. Press the Enter Button and select the Clear Program option, which
clears all tracks from the playlist. See Figure 82.

4. The simplest way to program your playlist is to scroll down to each
track in the desired playlist order. Press the Enter Button and select
the Add option. Remember to stay in the Play Order column. If you
press Enter while the track name is highlighted, the HS 500 will
simply play that track.
See Figure 83, in which the user scrolled to Track 5 in the list, pressed
the Enter Button to program it, and selected the Add option. Track 5
was automatically programmed as the next track in the playlist. Since
the playlist was empty, Track 5 was programmed to play first.

5. Repeat Step 4 to add as many tracks as you desire to your playlist.
You need not add all tracks on the disc.
NOTE: If you select a track that was already added to the play-
list and add it again, it will not repeat. Instead it will be moved
to the end of the playlist. If you wish to repeat a track during
programmed play, use the Repeat functions.
6. Navigate to the Disc list column heading and select the Prg list option
to view the tracks in programmed play order. You will notice that the
tracks have automatically been reordered, and that any gaps in the
play order have been filled. See Figure 84.

7. To play your programmed playlist, navigate to the Playlist setting near
the top of the screen. Select it, and choose the Programmed order
option. See Figure 85.
