Storing music on the MusicCAST server

Recording audio material from an external component on the MusicCAST server

The MusicCAST server can record material from external components such as MD and record players. It can also perform such functions as automatically finding gaps between songs in audio material and synchronize the starting and stopping of recording with playback from external components.

Check component connections

Connect the source component to the MusicCAST server. Where possible, use digital connections, as they result in a better quality recording.

•When using a source component with a digital output jack:

If the source component you want to use has a digital (optical) output jack, use a optical cable (supplied) to connect it to the OPTICAL IN jack on the MusicCAST server. If the source component has a coaxial output jack, then use a coaxial cable to connect it to the COAXIAL IN jack on the MusicCAST server.

Source component

•When using a source component with analog output jacks:

If the source component you want to use has analog output jacks only, then use audio pin cables (supplied) to connect it to the ANALOG IN jacks on the MusicCAST server.
