Rescanning a hard disk drive (Rescan HDD)
You can forcibly match the content of a hard disk drive and the content displayed on the screen of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER by rescanning the hard disk drive.
For example, if the analysis of music files is interrupted by an unexpected reason such as a sudden power outage, a mismatch may occur between the content displayed on the screen of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER and the actual content stored in the external hard disk drive. In this case, rescan the hard disk drive to correct the difference between the content displayed on the screen and the current database of the hard disk drive.
- Select [Settings] - [HDD Settings] in the Home screen.
- Select [Rescan HDD].
A screen to select the internal or external hard disk drive appears.
- Select [Rescan Internal HDD] , [Rescan External HDD] or [Rescan External HDD (differing items)].
A confirmation screen appears.
- Select [Yes].
Rescanning of the hard disk drive starts.
- When rescanning of the hard disk drive is complete, select [OK].
Note
- Performing the Rescan HDD functions (except for the differing items scan) restores the information of the music files. Music information edited by HDD Audio Remote is therefore reset. However, playlist information (playback times, newly added, playlists made by HDD Audio Remote), the favorite status (
) and edited SensMe™ channels information are kept. - When starting to rescan the hard disk drive, playback of music files stops.
- If no external hard disk drive is connected, [Rescan External HDD] and [Rescan External HDD (differing items)] are disabled and grayed out in step 3.
- Do not turn the HDD AUDIO PLAYER off during rescanning.
- Do not disconnect the external hard disk drive during rescanning.
- You cannot operate the HDD AUDIO PLAYER during rescanning.
Hint
- If you use a computer to add or delete music files on an external hard disk drive that was previously connected to the HDD AUDIO PLAYER, then connect the external hard disk drive to the HDD AUDIO PLAYER again, perform [Rescan External HDD (differing items)]. Rescanning for differing items keeps music information, playlist information, the favorite status () and edited SensMe™ channels information on the music files other than those that were added/deleted.
