Using the Jukebox

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 or a USB device. Once on the HDD, you can name albums, assign them a genre, and set tracks that you don’t want to play to Jump.

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

Copy protected CDs may not copy successfully.

Copying music to the HDD

The first step is to copy some music to the HDD. CD audio is copied in real-time, while WMA and MP3 files are copied at high

speed. All tracks are copied from each CD1 as an album.

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 92).

Usually, the tracks are copied to the HDD in the order they appear on the CD. When copying CD audio, you can copy them in some other order using the program play mode. See Program play on page 61 for how to do this.

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

Important

While copying CD audio, no other recorder operation is possible.

2 Select ‘Copy’ from the Home Menu.

Select ‘DVD/CD to HDD’.

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

You can also start copying by starting playback of the CD (including program play) and then pressing ONE TOUCH COPY.

To cancel copying an audio CD, press and hold ONE TOUCH COPY for more than one second.

To cancel copying a WMA/MP3 disc, press ENTER.

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

Note

1The recorder can copy up to 999 CDs; a CD can contain up to 99 tracks. The recorded audio format is 256 kbps Dolby Digital.
