Recording From External Changers
In addition to manually loading and recording CDs one
by one using the front panel CD drive, you can record as
many CDs as you want directly from your external chang-
ers.
The advantage of recording multiple discs from your
changers is that you don't have to sit there and unload/load
each disc after it's recorded; however, there is the disad-
vantage that external recording must occur in real-time, at
1x record speeds, taking up to several weeks to complete
for large music collections.
External Changer recording uses the same recording
preferences mentioned above in the "Selecting the Audio
Encoder Type" section. Refer to page 21.
Note: Make sure you have both the digital and analog audio
connections from your changers connected to the
MS750. The MS750 will use the digital inputs first, but
if there is digital copy protection on a CD, the MS750
will then attempt to use the analog audio inputs to
record the protected CD.
Automatically Recording CDs
You can easily record changer based CDs to your MS750's
internal hard drive using the Quick Record feature. Quick
Record will record all tracks from newly added CDs which
are NOT already recorded to your MS750, in one easy step.
