Recording

One of the unique features of the DMC 250 is its
ability to record audio from a CD or the Auxiliary
Analog Audio Inputs, convert the audio to the
MP3 format and store the resulting MP3 files on
a memory card or USB flash drive.
Making recordings is easier than ever using the
DMC 250's simple Recording Menu. Just follow
these steps:
Step One: Insert a memory card into one of the
card slots, or insert a USB flash drive into the
USB Port. Make sure the media is blank or con-
tains sufficient space to hold the new record-
ings.
Step Two: Press the Source Button and use the
M N
Buttons to select the Disc Player or
Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs (AUX) as the
media source. Press the Open/Close Button and
insert a CD, or make sure your analog source
device is connected to the DMC 250 and turned
on.
NOTE: Recordings may not be made from DVDs
or VCDs, or from CDs containing MP3 or WMA
files. Only audio CDs that are compliant with the
so-called "Red Book" standard, such as com-
mercial CDs, may be recorded. It is also not pos-
sible to make a recording using one of the solid-
state media as the source. It is your responsibili-
ty to comply with any copy restrictions imposed
by law.
Step Three: Stop playback, and press the
Record Button to access the Recording Menu.
You may also access the Recording Menu by
using the Navigation Buttons to highlight the
Record tab at the top of the screen and pressing
the Enter Button. See Figure 12 (Recording
Menu).

Step Four: Use the Navigation Buttons to high-
light the Destination line.
Press the Enter Button to display a dialogue box
allowing you to select Card Slot 1, Card Slot 2 or
the USB Port as the destination for the record-
ings. If no media has been installed, then that
media's icon will be dimmed and you may not
select it. See Figure 12a (Select a Recording
Destination).
Figure 12a – Select a Recording Destination
Step Five (CDs only): Select the tracks you
wish to record by using the Navigation Buttons
to highlight each track and pressing the Enter
Button.
A check mark will appear next to each selected
track. See Figure 12b (Selecting a Track For
Recording). To reverse the selection of a track,
highlight it and press the Enter Button, and the
check mark will disappear. To select all of the
tracks on the disc, scroll to the Select All com-
mand and press the Enter Button.
