You can start playback by touching the item of the video list.

Touch anywhere on the video screen to show the control panel.

(1). FF (Fast Forward) / REW (Rewind)

    Touch the FF button to move the playback position forward by the specified seek time.

    Touch the REW button to move the playback position backward by the specified seek time.

    The default seek time is 15 seconds. You can change the seek time from the settings menu.

    Touch the jog dial and turn it clockwise for frame-by-frame forward, or turn counterclockwise for frame-by-frame backward.

     Upon touching the jog dial, playback is paused.

(3) A-B repeat

    Move to the start position using the FF or REW buttons, the seek bar or the jog dial, and then touch the A button.  

    Move to the end position in the same way, and then touch the B button.

    Touch the Repeat ON/OFF button to toggle repeat mode.

    If repeat mode is on,  playback between the position "A" and "B" will be repeated.

    Otherwise, playback between the position "A" and "B" will be executed just once.

    The position  "A" and "B" can be reset by touching & holding the A and B buttons, respectively.

(4). Select Audio track

    If the video file contains two or more audio tracks, you can select the audio tracks by touching the Select audio track button.

    The selection will be kept even after power is off.

    If the video file contains subtitle track(s) or there is a subtitle file in the same directory, you can select or turn off the subtitle 

    by touching the Select subtitle track button.

    e.g. 

        foo_video.mp4 (Video file)
