Importing a Music CD Automatically

If you have a large collection of music CDs and want them all in the MCX-2000 music archive, you may want to skip operating steps required in the CD recording screen in the previous section. This method is just for you.

1Have all the music CDs you want to import ready and close by the MCX-2000. It’s important to save time and efficiently import your CDs.

2Use the Open/Close button on the unit’s front panel to open the tray; set a music CD on the tray with its label side facing up; press the CD AUTO STORE button on the unit’s front panel (the tray closes by itself). After showing a list of CD songs for a few seconds, the MCX-2000 starts importing all songs on the CD.

3When the RECORDING indicator goes off, the MCX-2000 shows the following dialog box, asking what you want to do next.

Open stored album page: Select this to automatically locate the album you’ve just imported. You can browse and play the songs from the album like other archived songs (page 46).

Store another CD: Select this when you import another CD. The MCX-2000 automatically opens the tray and lets you repeat steps 2 to 3 above.

Exit this screen: Select this to simply close the dialog box, and perform any other operation you need to manually.

You’ll find this operation extremely quick and easy. In addition, since this CD import procedure has no operation screen, you can continue playing audio sources (except for CDs, of course) while importing your music CDs—without interruption.
