consolidating dial-up connections when recording

If you want to record from several CDs and you use a dial-up connection, here’s the most efficient way to gather the CD information. This method lets you avoid repeated dial-ups (the longest part of the information gathering process) to make multiple database retrievals (a very short part of the process).

To gather CD information for several CDs:

1On the front panel, press the Open Tray button: Insert a CD, then close the tray.

2Press CD:

The digital entertainment center retrieves the CD information.

3When the CD track titles appear, remove the CD and insert another. This time the information appears quickly, because the Internet connection is already live.

note The digital entertainment center attempts to retrieve CD information only the first time a CD is inserted. If you insert a CD and the digital entertainment center does not attempt to retrieve its data, press OPTIONS, then select cd info to get the CD information.

4Repeat steps 1 through 3 for all of the CDs you plan to record.

The digital entertainment center now recognizes each of the CDs you've inserted. It does not need to connect again when you play or record the CDs.
