Controls
The browser, video player, audio player and picture viewer use different button maps. Start from the context you are in.
Browser
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| D-pad Left / Right | Choose a device; from the file list return to device selection. |
| D-pad Down | Enter the selected device's file list; move down within it. |
| D-pad Up | Move up in the file list. |
| Cross | Open a folder or start the selected media file. |
| Triangle | Parent folder / back to the device list. |
| L1 / L2 | Page up / down in a long list. |
| Start | Open SMS settings. |
| Circle on a folder | Play all menu: Audio, Video or Images. Randomize playlist also affects video folders. |
| Circle on video | Choose an external subtitle manually. |
| Select + Circle | Power off from the browser. |
Video and audio
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| Select | Pause / timeline controls. |
| Start | Resume; during normal playback open the player menu. |
| Triangle | Stop and return to the browser. |
| Left / Right | Rewind / fast-forward; within a normal audio track, seek. Playlist transport can change entries. |
| Up / Down | Volume. |
| Cross (video) | Toggle on-screen timer; exit fast-forward/rewind preview. |
| Square (video) | Cycle pan-scan/aspect modes. |
| L1 / R1 (video) | Pan left / right; together reset pan/zoom. |
| Circle (video) | Select V/A audio/video or S/V subtitle/video sync adjustment. |
| L2 / R2 (video) | Decrease/increase the selected sync value by 10 ms; together reset it. |
Do not apply a fixed offset to every NTSC file. One community workaround used V/A -00:060, a 60 ms setting, not a universal six-frame correction. Compare your actual file with the offset reset first.
Use the in-player menu for available audio/subtitle selections. Multiple audio tracks in a converted file still need a playback test in SMS.
Picture viewer
Cross or Right advances and Left goes back when a folder was opened with Play all → Images. A separately opened JPEG has no folder queue to advance through. Square toggles fit/actual size, Circle and R1 rotate, and Triangle returns to the browser.
Documentation keyboard shortcuts
On this website, / focuses search when you are not typing in a field. Up/Down chooses a result, Enter opens it and Escape closes results. On narrow screens the navigation button opens the guide list. Optional cursor orbs can be disabled and default off for reduced-motion/touch users.
