Recording
This unit can record audio to the internal HDD from a variety of sources including commerical CDs, radio, music files (WMA/
MP3), and audio from externally connected devices (portable digital audio players, etc.). This unit can also access the Gracenote 
database to obtain title information for music CDs, radio broadcasts, or other analog recordings made with externally connected 
devices. (For recording details, see page 26 of operating instruction.)

Importing from a PC
You can import WMA/MP3 files from your PC to this unit. This differs from recording because the files are saved in the HDD in the 
same format as they are saved on your PC. (LPCM and AAC conversion is not performed.)

All tracks recorded

After tracks recorded from sources other than 
a CD or WMA/MP3 files imported from a PC 
are saved in this unit’s HDD, you can manually 
access the Gracenote database to obtain track 
title information, etc. (

 below)

Imported WMA/MP3 
files are saved "as-is"
(without conversion) in 
this unit’s HDD.

RECORD

IMPORT

You can record up to 39,000  
songs in the Music Jukebox.

The number of songs depends 
upon various conditions.

CD

The Gracenote  database is a database used to search and retrieve CD title information.
By connecting to the Internet, the unit can access the Gracenote server and obtain the most recent CD title information. When a 
CD is inserted or recording from a CD begins, the unit will automatically search for and obtain information about the inserted CD 
(

page 28 of operating instruction) .

If this unit is not connected to the Internet:
A portion of the Gracenote database comes pre-installed on this unit, so titles and artist information can be obtained. Please note 
however that the newest CD titles, etc. may not be registered yet to the internal database. This unit has an internal database 
containing information for approximately 350,000 album titles.

Searching for titles other than on CD:
Using the Gracenote database, information can also be obtained for other types of tracks recorded to the HDD (

page 67  

Searching for track names, artist names and album names within the Gracenote database and entering 

them automatically).

If it takes a long time to access the Gracenote database, check if the unit s network connection (

page 94 of operating instruction) 

and the network settings (

page 96 of operating instruction) are correct.

Some CDs may have title information that is similar to other CDs. In this case, try obtaining the CD title information again 

(

page 67 of operating instruction), or after recording to the HDD has completed enter the CD title information manually (

page 66

For some CDs, multiple title suggestions will be found, therefore select the appropriate title (

page 67 of operating instruction).

 When you want to

 

change the title, manually make changes after recording to the HDD is complete (
