MP3 Encode Schedule

The ENCODING indicator on the MCX-2000 front panel lights up while the unit is converting the recorded audio into MP3 format. In this screen, you can view a list of song titles in MP3 conversion schedule. The first song in the list is currently in conversion process and shown with “Encoding” on the right of its title. Songs that finished MP3 conversion automatically disappear from the list, and the ENCODING indicator goes off when the list becomes empty.

nUnlike recording process, you can interrupt conversion process by pressing the STANDBY/ON button to put the MCX-2000 in standby mode. During conversion process, the unit may automatically enter sleep mode, but doesn’t automatically enter standby mode until it completes conversion of the scheduled songs. In addition, interrupted conversion process is automatically resumed when the MCX-2000 wakes up from standby mode. No operation is required.
