Getting Started
4. Set basic preferences.
C. With the Preferences menu
displayed, click Encoding Options
to display the Encoding Options
menu.
1. Select a recording Format and
Quality Level.
A. RealAudio is
RealNetworks' audio
format. This format saves
your music as RealAudio
(.rmx) secure or
RealAudio unsecured
(.rmj) files. Compression
levels available are (96,
64, and 44 Stereo, and 32
Kbps Mono). 96kbps
Stereo has the best quality
sound, but uses the most
disk space.
B. MP3 Audio is MPEG
layer 3 Audio available at
four compression levels
(128, 96, 64, and 56Kb
Stereo). 128Kb has the
best quality sound, but
uses the most disk space.

C. Wave Audio is unencoded
music that is not
compressed. This format
has the best quality sound
but requires the largest file
size, as much as 650MB
per CD. Wave Audio files
are much larger than
RealAudio and MP3
Audio files.
2. Secure Files Setting
A. Secure Files On
Files recorded with
security on can only be
played on the PC on
which they were recorded.
Notes: If you record with the
security feature on, make
sure you perform a security
key back up (Backup Security
Key feature located under
Options menu).
B. Secure Files Off
Most people choose to
turn the Secure Files
feature off.
Notes: In the future, some
music may require the
security feature turned on to
record to your computer.
Turn this feature off if you
own two computers and want
to exchange files between
them.
