Importing Music

<

◆When importing from music CDs (page 45)

Content of single or multiple discs can be imported to the HDD at one time. Selection of specific title(s) for import is also supported. Import will be done at approximately 8x speed. The server saves the content from a Music CD as LPCM or MP3 files. For selection of the LPCM and MP3 import formats, see [Import Setting] of [Music Import Settings] (page 111).

◆When importing from data discs (page 46)You can import by disc, folder, or track. (Multi-Disc Import is not available.)WAV (.wav) and MP3 (.mp3) are the supported source formats (page 47).◆After importing from discs

The most recent 30 tracks will be displayed in the [Newly Registered] folder. You can play these tracks in the same way as the other tracks on the HDD or the discs. See “Playing newly registered music stored on the HDD” (page 71).

◆When importing from a PC

“Music Transfer” software (supplied) allows for importing music files from PCs. See page 49 for details.

zHint

You can turn off the server by pressing \/1 during music import. The operation continues even when the power is off.

Notes

•Tracks in the [Newly Registered] folder are linked to the original files on the HDD. If you erase the original files on the HDD, the tracks will be erased from the [Newly Registered] folder.

•Do not import music from DTS format music CDs. If the imported track is played, a loud noise may be output.
