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.
