How recordings work

Tracks are initially recorded to the HDD and saved as LPCM. When the recording mode is set to AAC,
AAC conversion takes place while the unit is in standby mode. In addition to AAC conversion, track
analysis for the "Music Shuffle" function (➜ page 35) also takes place during standby mode.

∫ About AAC conversion of recorded tracks and Music Shuffle analysis
≥Conversion/analysis is performed when the unit is in standby mode. 2 minutes after the unit is set to
standby mode, conversion/analysis starts and the unit's display starts to show "_ _ _ _". Leave the AC
mains lead plugged in. You can also perform conversion/analysis immediately (➜ page 46).
≥This unit usually takes about one-third of the recording time to complete analysis and conversion.
For example, a 60-minute recording will take about 20 minutes to complete conversion and analysis.
(For tracks imported from a PC, time will be shorter as the tracks only need to be analysed.)
≥Tracks can be played even if conversion and analysis is incomplete. However, the same track may
sound slightly different before and after AAC conversion.
≥You can also compress LPCM tracks to AAC to increase the amount of the available space on the
HDD (➜ page 47).
