iQ Hard Drive Sources on the TS.35


 
 Navigating Hard Drive Source Music
 

 To start playing music from the hard drive source on the iQ system using the TS.35 touch panels, you must first choose in which room you would like to play music.  To play music in the current room, press PLAY MUSIC.  To play music in another room, choose PICK A ROOM from the toggle list.
  If music is already in progress or something is Now Playing in the room you have chosen, a pop-up will appear where you can choose any of these options:
  • Change Music - Allows you to change the music currently playing within the existing source.
  • Change Source - Allows you to change the source to a different source than is what currently playing in the room.
  • Turn Room Off - Allows you to turn off the Room to stop all music and clear the current Now Playing queue.
 
 After choosing Change Source or once the room has been selected, you then must choose which source to play.  The hard drive source can be customized and renamed.  To choose a hard drive source, select one of the sources with the iQ icon to the left.
 
 After a source has been selected, a screen of navigation options will appear.  For hard drive sources, icons display for each method of navigation.  If classical mode is enabled, there will be additional navigating options.
 
 A list of options based on the category chosen for a hard drive source will appear.  At any point you can drill down to the narrowed down list by touching the name, or instead press the blue PLAY button to play all media relating to the section.
 
 When choosing PLAY, a pop-up list will appear giving you these options:
  • Play This Now - This selection will immediately start playing in the front of the current Now Playing.
  • Play This Next - This selection will start playing after the completion of the current song.
  • Play This Last - This selection will start playing after all songs in the current Now Playing have completed.
  • Save This to a Playlist - Save this current selection to a new or existing playlist.
  • Close - Choose this to close out of this screen and perform none of the play options.

 To change sources or rooms at any time, press the top HOME button to go back to the main screen.
