Search by String
One of the most convenient features of the DMIX-600 is string search,
which allows you to find a specified word or string of words within the
database. This is exceptionally helpful when you (or your client) has a
request, but does not know the exact title or artist.
Once you have selected 'Search by String,' you will be presented with a
prompt where you may input a word or series of words that will be used
when querying the database.
You can control your DMIX-600 by from any wireless or corded USB
keyboard. Just plug in a USB keyboard into any of the USB jacks
and you can string search for songs to input directly into the player
you can also control many of the functios of your player from the
keyboard, below is a list of key names and thier corresponding
functions.
NOTE: No matter what mode you are in, when you start typ-
ing, the DMIX-600 will jump to the string search screen.
You can also use the Jog Wheel or Up/Down arrows (on the Navigator
Keypad), to input the first letter of the Search String. Use the Right
arrow or the Enter Key to advance to the next space, and enter the next
letter. You may press the Left arrow to go back to the previous letter, or
press Shift+Left to backspace (deletes the previous letter).
Finally, when the Search String is entered, you will need to press the
Enter key twice, and the unit will execute the search.
Once you press Enter twice, the unit will begin processing your search.
Depending on the size of your library, this may take awhile.
After the unit is finished executing the search, it will display the results
that were found for each category: Titles, Artists, Genres, and Albums -
each of which can be accessed by using the Navigation Pad Arrow Keys
or the Jog Wheel. Note that the amount of results found under each
category will be displayed in parenthesis. In this example, there are 10
titles of songs with the word "LOVE" in them, and 1 artist.
