Using the MusicBox media browser

Introduction

This chapter describes the handset keys used by the MusicBox. All content presented

in the MusicBox is navigated in a consistent manner.

Description

Using the MusicBox, you can check out content made available from Sony Music

Mobile. Such information may include information about artists, available polyphonic

ringtones, digital audio ringtones, and wallpapers. Not every handset supports all

media formats. Browsing content in the MusicBox is very similar to browsing content

with a web browser. Instead of clicking on a hyperlink, you must first select the link

and then use the Select key to follow the link.

Basic Handset Keys

Prior to reading the following instructions, please review the “Appendix: Handset

Description” of this document to ensure you’re familiar with the keys used on a typical

handset. The “Handset Description” chapter shows the most common buttons and

keys used by the MusicBox application. Most handsets follow similar use of keys. If a

key is not physically represented on your phone it is replaced with a so called “soft-

key”. A soft-key is presented on the display of your phone and it’s action is triggered

by pressing the key right underneath the display area.

SONY MUSIC BOX MANUAL

Keys used by the MusicBox

The following keys are used by the MusicBox application.

This key is called the “Clear” key and takes you back to the previous

menu or main menu. When entering text, this key functions as a

backspace key and deletes the previous letter. On the Sharp handset

(shown in Chapter 4) this key is directly below the Navigation key. On

the Motorola T720 and T730 handsets, it is the left hand soft-key

directly underneath the display with the label Back.

This key is called the “Navigation” key and it has 4 operations: up,

down, left, and right. On some handsets this key has a fifth operation,

select when pushed.

This key is called the “Select” key. On the Sharp handset shown in

Chapter 4, it is located at the center of the Navigation Key. On the

Motorola T720 and T730 handsets, it is the right hand soft key directly

underneath the screen and is labeled Select.

This key is called the “End Call” key, and terminates a call when you

complete one. Similarly, you can use the End Call key to exit the

MusicBox at any time.

Clearing the cache by pressing the # key. It may become necessary

to clear the cache of the MusicBox application. Pressing the # key

clears the cache and ensures that all pages will be loaded over a new

network connection.

Loading the Home Page by pressing the ‘0’ key. When the ‘0’ key is

pressed, the MusicBox loads the home page.

Loading the Help Page by pressing the ‘*’ key. When the ‘*’ key is

pressed, the MusicBox loads the help page.

Previewing & Buying: Using the Extension

After selecting “Preview” or “Buy” the MusicBox

starts the Extension. The Extension can be thought of

as a helper application that lets your browser play

media and manage your downloads and purchases.

The Extension shows a status bar in the lower right

corner of your screen while media is being

downloaded. After the download process is

completed, the Extension plays the ringtone.

After playback, you can decide to play the selection

again (by selecting “Try), or select “Buy” via the

horizontal navigation bar displayed above the soft keys. Use the left and right keys on

the key while in the Extension. The Extension also displays the cost of the media

in “Credits”. Credits are the same as “Uses” which is what they are called within the

“Download Shop”.

the End key and go to the “Download Shop” to buy additional credits for the Sony

Music Box.
