PRESETS
Presets are simple playlists that can be used in the same way
as a preset station on your radio tuner. For example, you may
have a preset which plays a random selection from your entire
Audio Library. Although you can select a preset for playback
using the TV user interface, presets are more commonly used by
simple multi-room control systems and remote controls to trigger
playback without referring to the TV screen. Before a preset can
be used a playlist must be assigned to that ‘station’:

à
Library key on
