Recording Archived Songs to a CD

As long as you’re keeping PCM song data in the MCX-2000 internal hard drive (factory setting), you can create an original music CD based on a playlist or an album from your music archive at any time. It’s another great feature the MCX-2000 delivers as your music collection center.

1From the Recording menu screen (page 66), select Create an original CD for the following screen.

According to your selection, the MCX-2000 shows a dialog box, where you can search for the desired album or playlist in the same manner you search for a song in the music archive.

When Album is selected

Songs in the selected album or playlist

2According to message shown in yellow, set a blank CD-R/ RW disc for audio recording on the tray, with its label side facing up. Use the OPEN/CLOSE button on the remote control for tray operations. When the MCX-2000 recognize it as an appropriate recordable disc, the yellow screen message changes to “Audio CD-R/RW present”.

nThe MCX-2000 continues showing the same messages above until you set an appropriate disc. In addition, unlike when you duplicate an audio CD (page 72), the MCX-2000 doesn’t let you initialize a CD-RW disc that’s already recorded.

3Specify a playlist or an album you want to record onto the disc, by selecting either Album or Playlist from the Submenu.

nWhen the selected album or playlist contains an MP3-only song (because you selected NOT to keep its PCM song data or deleted it using relevant Submenu commands), the MCX-2000 shows an alert message and discards your selection.
