Figure 4.2.1

Playlist Backup Page

Pressing the DOWN/NO button in this page will have no effect. Pressing the UP/YES button will prompt you with an "Are you sure? Y/N" message. Pressing DOWN/NO at that point will cancel the Playlist Backup operation. Pressing UP/YES at the prompt will begin the backup process.

If there is no blank CD in the drive, the CD tray will eject and the display will prompt you to insert a blank CD, as in Figure 4.2.2.

Figure 4.2.2

Insert Blank CD-R Screen

Once a blank CD is inserted into the drive and the tray is closed, the unit will scan the disc to verify that a recordable disc is present. Once the disc has been verified as a recordable CD-R and its length has been determined, the MasterLink will verify that the playlist will fit on the CD-R that you have inserted. If the playlist is too large to fit on the CD, the display will prompt with a "Playlist exceeds disc at Track xx" message (where xx is the Track number at which the playlist became too large), and abort the CD creation process. If the playlist checks out, the recording process will begin. Please see Section 6.3 in the MasterLink User's Manual for details of the CD recording process.

4.3PLAYLIST RESTORE

The Playlist Restore function is complementary to the Playlist Backup function; it reads Playlists saved to CD and restores them to the hard drive, and restores all DSP settings and track timing information.

To begin a Playlist Restore, press the UTILITY button repeatedly until Utility Page 4 is displayed, as shown in Figure 4.3.1.
