The "Gracenote music recognition service" is the name of a service

obtained automatically and displayed on the CHR-F103's display by
®
accessing the Gracenote server over the Internet.
¢ If you do not have the environment for
connecting to the Internet
The CHR-F103 has part of the Gracenote
so some title information can be obtained without connecting to
the Internet.
Note, however, that the internal database may not contain title
information for recently released CDs.
*: Information for approximately 350,000 titles selected from the
Gracenote ® database in April 2006 is stored in the CHR-F103.
