RECORDING MUSIC

Your VIA!dj allows you to record music from CDs and add it to the music library stored on the Hard Disk. Using either its built-in modem or an Ethernet connection, your VIA!dj automatically checks the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition Service and XiVA website when you record a CD, and downloads the album title, track titles, artist name, genre for the CD and cover art. If you do not provide an Internet con- nection you can label the CDs you record manually.

The VIA!dj can record DTS 5.1 encoded audio CDs. These CDs must be recorded uncompressed and can only be played out of the VIA!dj’s digital output, which should be connected to a surround sound processor.
