Using the Jukebox
The Jukebox feature allows you to use the recorder's
HDD to store and playback music from up to 999 of your
CDs. You can also transfer WMA/MP3 files stored on CD-
R/-RW/-ROM or a USB device. Once on the HDD, you can
name albums, assign them a genre, and set tracks that
you don't want to play to Jump.

Copying music to the HDD

The first step is to copy some music to the HDD. CD
audio is copied in real-time, while WMA and MP3 files are
copied at high speed. All tracks are copied from each
1
CD as an album.
WMA/MP3 album and track names are copied along with
the audio. CD album and track names are not copied, but
you can add these later (see Editing Jukebox albums on
page 114).
Usually, the tracks are copied to the HDD in the order
they appear on the CD. When copying CD audio, you can
copy them in some other order using the program play
mode. See Program play on page 93 for how to do this.
Note that once copied to the HDD, audio tracks cannot
be copied to a recordable DVD disc.
Important

is possible.
• When copying CD audio, scheduled timer recordings
will not start until copying is complete.
