•Repeat steps 1-8 for each disc in your music collection.

•Highlight and Unselect tracks you do not wish to record before pressing RECORD for the third time.

Note: It is also possible to set the MS300 to automatically record the CD when inserted. Refer to the section “Setting User Preferences” for setting Recording Preferences and Disc Insert Preferences.

RECORDING FROM AN EXTERNAL CHANGER

The MS300 can manage up to three - 400 disc CD changers in addition to any music recorded onto the internal hard drive.

Recording from an external changer (of course) requires at least one supported external CD changer properly connected to the MS300. Recording from an external changer is much slower than recording from the internal CD drive because each CD must be played and recorded in real-time compared to the fast ripping speed of recording from the internal CD drive. However, it is possible to set up the external changer record and let it record for several weeks with no interaction.

All changer based CDs are seamlessly integrated into the same easy to use Music Guide as your recorded CDs.

Supported External CD Changers

The following changers are currently supported. This list may change from time to time as new changers are released by third party manufacturers. Please check the McIntosh web site for a list of any new supported changers.

•Sony CD Changers (CDP-CX 200, 300, 400 series with S-Link support)

•Sony DVP-CX777ES CD/DVD changer (CDs only)
