1Follow the procedure described on page 21 to display the contents of a CD on the on-screen display.

2Select the songs you want to store.

By default, the MusicCAST server selects all songs for storage. There are checkboxes displayed to the left of each song. Use / // to move the cursor to the checkbox of the songs you do not wish to store, and press SELECT. The tick in the checkbox disappears.

The screen can display up to 10 songs. Use / to scroll the display if the CD contains more than 10 songs. Check that all of the songs you wish to store have ticks in their checkboxes.

3Use / // to move the cursor to “Start” and press SELECT.

The MusicCAST server begins storing songs on its hard disk drive.

The following screen appears on the on-screen display during recording:

During the storage process the MusicCAST server displays a progress bar in the lower portion of the on-screen diaplay indicating how far it has progressed with the storage, and icons indicating that storage is taking place.

To stop the storage process press SELECT.

Take care not to press SELECT in error as pressing SELECT halts the storage process.

The MusicCAST first stores the songs in PCM form, and then converts them into MP3 format, saving both copies on the hard disk drive (see page 21 for an explanation of PCM and MP3 formats). The conversion process takes a short time.
