... Record at a different compression rate?

The I-Mix compresses your music to save space on the hard drive. (See page 38 for more information.) Music recorded at full CD quality takes up more space on the I-Mix hard drive than music recorded at 320 or 128 kbps but sounds better. You can set the compression rate independently for both CD and analog recording. Set the compression rate before recording, it cannot be changed after recording.

To change the compression bit rate in the Record menu:

•Use the Up/Down arrows (▲/▼) to select CD or Line In on the main menu.

•Press the Record button (●) on the remote control, then press the Down arrow (▼) button to select Compress Bit Rate. The setting is shown at the bottom of the display.

•Press the Right arrow (►) to cycle through the compression settings.

•Press once to select 320 kbps, press again to select Full CD Quality (1,400 kbps), press again to select 128 kbps.

•To exit without recording, press Main or Left arrow (◄) to return to the main menu.

To change the compression rate in the System menu:

•Use the Up/Down arrows (▲/▼) to select System in the main menu.

•Press the Right arrow (►) to enter the System menu.

•Press the Down arrow (▼) to select Record Setting.

•You have two choices displayed: CD Recording and Line-In Recording. Select the category of your choice.

•Press the Right arrow (►) to cycle through the three compression settings: 128 kbs, 320kbs and Full CD Quality. After selecting the rate you want:
