Importing audio data/WAV files

This section explains how to load (import) audio data or WAV files from the CD-RW drive or from the desired track of a different song.

Importing from the CD-RW drive

CD audio data (CD-DA) or a WAV file from a CD-ROM or CD-R can be imported (loaded) into an AW2400 audio track. After being imported, this data can be handled in the same way as any recorded audio track.

1 Call the UTILITY screen Preference page by either pressing the Work Navigate section [UTILITY] key as many times as necessary, or by pressing the [F2] key after pressing the [UTILITY] key.

Immediately after the AW2400 is powered-on, it will be set to prohibit digital recording from an external source or importing from a CD. Before you can import, you will need to disable this prohibition in the UTILITY screen Preference page.

2 Move the cursor to the CD/DAT DIGITAL REC button, and press the [ENTER] key.

A message will ask you to confirm that you will observe the applicable copyright laws.

3 Carefully read “Copyright Notice” (→ p. 7), and if you accept these terms, move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key.

The button display will change from DISABLE to ENABLE, and digital recording and importing from a CD will be enabled.

NOTE

•The CD/DAT DIGITAL REC button will return to the DISABLE setting each time you turn on the power.

4 Insert a CD into the CD-RW drive.

You can import data from the following types of media.

●Audio data (CD-DA)

•Audio CD

•CD-Extra (only the first session of CD-DA)

•Mixed Mode CD (only CD-DA data of the second and later tracks)

●WAV files

•ISO9660 Level 1 format CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW*

•Mixed Mode CD

*The directory name and file name cannot use charac- ters other than uppercase alphanumeric characters and the “_” (underscore) character.

5 Call the EDIT screen Edit page by either pressing the Work Navigate section [EDIT] key as many times as necessary, or by pressing the [F1] key after pressing the [EDIT] key.

6 Move the cursor to the editing command field, use the [DATA/JOG] dial or [INC]/ [DEC] keys to select the desired editing command.

Select “IMPORT CD AUDIO” if the import-source is an audio CD or CD-Extra, or select “IMPORT CD WAV” if the import-source is a WAV file.

7 Press the [ENTER] key to confirm the edit command.

The READ CD INFO button will appear in the center of the display.

The following illustration shows the screen when you’ve selected IMPORT CD AUDIO as the edit com- mand.

NOTE

•If you choose a song whose sample rate is 48 kHz in the IMPORT CD AUDIO command, a message of “Current Song is 48kHz Fs Type.” appears, and you won’t be able to load the audio data.

8 Move the cursor to the READ CD INFO but- ton and press the [ENTER] key.

The display will indicate “Read CD Info...”, and infor- mation will be read from the CD inserted in the CD- RW drive.

Depending on the import-source data, the screen will change as follows.

NOTE

•If the CD/DAT DIGITAL REC button is set to “DISABLE” in the UTILITY screen Preference page, the display will indicate “CD Import Prohibited!”, and you won’t be able to import from the CD. If this occurs, refer to steps 1–3 and check your settings once again.
