Copying music to HDD

You can store the following formats of music data in this unit’s HDD.

Music CD (CD-DA)

When copying music CDs, this unit makes access to the internal Gracenote® Database to obtain title information. The album name, track name and artist name are assigned automatically allowing you find the track easily when playing back.

MP3/WMA

You can copy MP3 or WMA files from the USB memory or CD-R/CD-RW/ DVD-R/DVD-R DL.

About the Gracenote® Database

The Gracenote® Database is a database used to search and retrieve CD title information.

When a CD is inserted or recording from a CD begins, the unit will automatically search for and obtain information about the inserted CD.

The Gracenote® Database comes pre-installed on this unit, so titles and artist information can be obtained. Please note however that the newest CD titles, etc. may not be registered yet to the internal database. This unit has an internal database containing information for approximately 350,000 album titles.

You can update the internal database (> 53).

If there are CDs with very similar title information, then the incorrect title information may be obtained. If no title suggestions are found, then track name, album name and artist name will be blank.

In these cases, enter the CD title information manually, after recording to the HDD has completed.
