To play a song, simply press the PLAY button when the * is next to the chosen song. To exit from play list mode, hit the MODE button again.

    Button 7: REWIND: When tapped, this button skips to the previous song on the play list. When held down, it will rewind through the current song.

Frequently Asked Question
The LCD is small, what if two songs have the same first 16 characters?
The remote control sets up a scrolling song title. This means the entire song name will scroll across the LCD

What is shown on the LCD during normal operation?
You will see the current song being scrolled across the top line. On the bottom line, it shows what the current state of operation is. If the state is PLAY, the bottom line will also show how much time has passed in the current song as well as the current bit rate.

What kind of batteries does it use?
One 9V battery will last for several hours of usage.

What does it mean if the LCD reads “no connection”?
There can be one of several problems. WinAmp could be closed, the plugin might not be installed, or the serial cable could be loose or not plugged into com 1. As a first step, trying resetting the controller and restarting WinAmp.
