Recording a CD to the HD
— Auto Storage/High-Speed Synchro
Storage
When Auto Storage is selected as the storage
mode, CD tracks are automatically recorded to
the HD while being played back.
Only tracks that are played back completely
and are not yet stored on the HD are recorded
in this mode. If the tracks are from a CD that
has never been played before, they are stored to
a blank album with the smallest album number
in the Library area. Otherwise, they are stored
in the album in the Library area containing
other tracks from the same CD. The tracks are
stored in the album in the order of the original
CD.
While “CD” is displayed, the display window
shows the track storage status of the current
CD.
All tracks on the CD have been
stored.
Some tracks on the CD have been
stored.
No track on the CD has been stored.
Data on the CD is being collated with
that on the HD (flashing).

Tips
• If you set “TextSave” in the setup menu to “On”,
CD text (track name only) is saved to the HD
automatically.
• While a CD track is being recorded, "STORAGE"
appears in the display.
Notes
• More than one copy of the same track cannot exist
in the same album.
• An album cannot contain more than one CD.
• The system cannot record CD tracks when:
– The remaining time on the HD is less than 240
minutes.
– The remaining number of the tracks on the HD is
less than 131.
– There is no blank album in the Library area.
• If you erase an album from the Library area with
the Erase function or move an album from the
Library area to the Flexible area with the Move
function, the corresponding CD is restored to the
Library area when the CD is played back.
• While recording, if you press HD u (or HD N
on the remote), the recording stops and HD
playback starts.
• The recording stops when:
– The total number of tracks on the HD reaches
20,000.
– The total recording time of the HD reaches about
300 hours.
– The CD function is changed to another function.
• You cannot name an album or a track while
recording is in progress.
• Because Auto Storage and High-Speed Synchro
Storage are different from conventional recording
methods, the playing time of the tracks recorded on
the HD may differ from that of the CD tracks, and
the total playing time of the album in which the CD
is recorded may not be the same as that of the CD
itself.
Before turning off the system
or pulling out the power cord
HD recording is completed only when the
indicator has stopped flashing after you press
CD x. To ensure completion of the recording,
do not press @/1 or pull out the power cord
while the
indicator is flashing. If you do,
the played tracks may not be stored to the HD.
