Using the Jukebox

10

The Jukebox feature allows you to use the recorder’s HDD to store and playback music from up to 999 of your CDs. You can also transfer WMA/MP3 files stored on CD-R/-RW/ -ROM, DVD, USB device or PC (USB function only works with DVR-650H-S and DVR-550H- S). Once on the HDD, you can name albums and tracks, assign them a genre, and set tracks that you don’t want to play to Jump.

Copying music to the HDD

The first step is to copy some music to the HDD. CD audio, WMA and MP3 files are copied at high speed. All tracks are copied from each CD/DVD as an album.1

WMA/MP3 album and track names are copied along with the audio. CD album and track names are not copied, but you can add these later (see Editing Jukebox albums on page 91).

Usually, the tracks are copied to the HDD in the order they appear on the CD/DVD.

Note that once copied to the HDD, audio tracks cannot be copied to a recordable DVD disc.

Important

•While copying, no other recorder operation is possible.

•When copying, scheduled timer recordings will not start until copying is complete.

On pressing ENTER all tracks (or files) on the CD or all WMA/MP3 files on the DVD are copied to the HDD.

•You can also start copying by starting playback of the CD/DVD and then pressing ONE TOUCH COPY.

•To cancel copying press ENTER.

•If the CD loaded contains both CD audio tracks and WMA/MP3 files, the part currently selected will play.
