or name of the SlimServer computer. See the Troubleshooting section at the end of
this guide for details.

including album, artist, genre, album cover art (if available), new music, by year,
and more.

Searching for Music with the Remote
You can enter the name of the song, artist or album you are looking for in two ways. In
each case, the cursor automatically advances three seconds after you press a button. If the
button you want next is different from the last button you pressed, you can proceed as
quickly as you want. If you have to press the same button consecutively, wait for the cursor
to advance before pressing the button again, or press the RIGHT arrow to move on.
Tip: You don’t have to enter the entire album name, artist name, or song
title to search successfully; just enter the fi rst few letters and press right,
then scroll down through the results using the DOWN arrow.
Using the LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN arrows to enter letters or numbers:
1. Press the UP or DOWN arrows until the character you want is displayed.
2. Press the RIGHT arrow once to advance one space to the right.
3. Fix errors by pressing the LEFT arrow.
4. After you’ve entered all of the text you want to use for the search, press the RIGHT
arrow twice to run the search.
Using the “cellphone” method to enter letters or numbers:
1. Press the black number buttons (2 – 9) one, two, three or four times for letters
and numbers.
2. Press the 0 (zero) button for a space.
3. Press the 1 button repeatedly to cycle through punctuation.
4. Press the LEFT arrow to erase letters. Press and hold to erase more than one
character.
