File Find Function
By using the alphanumeric keyboard, you can instantly find any cut by name or ID. RC-320 users can find
cuts or Playlists by ID number. Cuts in the current directory only require entry of their cut number or name.
However, a search by name will search all directories. You may also find them by typing only as much of
their name as makes them unique. For example: If there is a cut named "BOSTON" and another named
"BOND", BOS <ENTER> will find the first and BON <ENTER> will find the other. This search
progresses from the currently selected cut, so if there is more than one cut with the same or similar names,
subsequent FIND operations will find each one in turn.
NOTE: For cuts in other directories, use the full four-number Identifier. “S” indicates the Playlist
Directory. For cuts on other drives, use the full five-number Identifier.
The " . " (decimal) separator is not needed with the FIND function.
Find can be used in the process of creating a Quickstack. Please see Playlists on page 50.

triggered.
U SING THE FIND F UNCTION WITH AN RC-320
Begin typing your search file ID on the gray number keys on the RC-320 keypad. The numeric
keypad on the RC-series remotes automatically assumes that you are beginning a new file ID search.
The information on the bottom line pertains to the currently selected cut.
Press ENTER to select the cut when the correct selection is found. The screen will display information
about the newly selected cut.
Press PLAY to play the cut or enter it into a Playlist (see Quickstack in Creating a Playlist on page 52).
Repeat as necessary for Follow-On Play.
The RC-320 STACK DIR Key
Find Playlist (Stack) operations on the RC-320 are expedited by use of the STACK DIR key. Instead of
using the remote’s navigation arrows to move to the Playlist Directory, you may quickly select a
Playlist on any mounted drive by pressing the STACK DIR key on the remote.
The top line of the display will prompt you to “FIND STACK:”. Enter four digits – the first digit
represents the drive number, the next three digits indicate the file ID number. Press ENTER to make
that Playlist current. The screen will show information about the newly selected Playlist.
Press PLAY to play the Playlist or enter it into a Compound Playlist. Repeat as necessary for Follow-
On Play.
