CATCHER II memory with the same operations.

MP3/WMA

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.

This audio compression method has penetrated into PC users and become a standard format.

This MP3 features the original audio data compression to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high sound quality. This means that about

10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or

CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

What is WMA?

WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media

Audio, an audio file format developed by

Microsoft Corporation.

Notes:

• If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights

Management) for WMA remaining ON, no audio is output (“The WMA indicator” blinks).

Notes on recording using MUSIC CATCHER II

• MUSIC CATCHER II provides recording feature at 4 times speed for audio CDs or CD-

Rs.

• For CD-RWs, only double-speed recording is available.

• Recording using MUSIC CATCHER II is available only for audio CDs (including CD-R,

CD-RW). MP3/WMA discs cannot be recorded; sounds from the AUX input jack or the radio cannot be recorded, too.

• When recording finishes, MUSIC CATCHER II automatically rewinds to the beginning of the track currently being played back. This is caused by the difference between the recording speed and the playing speed; that does not mean mechanical failure.

• The sound quality after the recording may differ from that you heard during the recording. This is caused by that MUSIC CATCHER II uses its memory (just recorded) as the sound source for the playback during recording; that does not mean mechanical failure.

• When you start recording during a CD or a track playback, MUSIC CATCHER II automatically rewinds to the beginning of the

CD or the track, then starts recording.

• The sound quality while MUSIC CATCHER II playing back may differ from that of audio CD.

If you are not satisfied with the sound quality, switch the recording mode to SHQ, or HQ; and retry recording.

Example:

Folder name : FLD00001

Track name : TRACK 01

Set a “USER TITLE” for a folder name using the entering titles function. Also, delete the

“USER TITLE” previously entered, and then

MUSIC CATCHER II renames that folder to the same name automatically added during recording. For details on how to set a title, refer to the subsection “Entering titles” (page 23) in the section “Common Operations”.

• If the disc is not recordable, “NO REC DSC” shows on the display.
