Button Press Techniques Some of the HD100 buttons perform differ-

ent functions depending on how long the button is pressed before it is
released. For example, in Play Mode, a short press of the button goes
to the next track, where as a longer press of the same button fast for­ward within the current track.

This distinction is made with the following phrases:

- PRESS Instructions that say "press" the button, signify you press and

immediately release the button; it is a short press.

- PRESS AND HOLD Instructions that say "press and hold" the button

signify that you press and momentarily hold the button before releas­ing it; it is a long press for about one second.
