OPERATION

The device connected to the Auxiliary Inputs is not available for source

selection in the usual manner. It is selected as a recording source, as

described in the Content Transfer section, although it is possible to

monitor the source without making a recording.

Content Transfer

One of the DMC 1000’s most exciting features is its ability to transfer

content from one type of media to another, and to store your library

of music on its internal hard-disc drive.

The method for making recordings varies slightly, depending on the

source media.

Audio CDs

As soon as an audio CD is loaded, the DMC 1000 begins the process

of copying it to the Media Library at high speed. It displays the progress

of the recording as a percentage recorded.

At the same time, the DMC 1000 automatically begins playing the copy of

the CD from the Media Library, if you have programmed the DMC 1000’s

Setup Menu to do so.

The DMC 1000 uses Gracenote MusicID to identify the CD, tag it with

the correct information and import the album cover art, if available. If the

DMC 1000 is not connected to the Internet, Gracenote MusicID will tag

the content using the offline database stored on the DMC 1000’s hard-

disc drive; however, it will not display any cover art. For homemade discs,

the service will attempt to identify the content based on any tags that were

created when the disc was recorded.

After the DMC 1000 has finished copying the CD to the Media Library,

you may remove the disc and store it.

NOTE: The DMC 1000 initially copies the CD to .wav files.

If you have adjusted the Audio Encoding Quality setting in the

Media Library Setup menu to one of the MP3 formats, the

DMC 1000 will then encode the .wav files as MP3 files at the

specified sampling rate. If you attempt to transfer the CD from

the Media Library to a memory card, recordable CD or USB

drive before the encoding is completed, the files will be transferred

as .wav files. Since .wav files are much larger than MP3 files,

depending on your destination media, you may not have enough

space to complete the transfer.

Data CDs

Data CDs are discs that contain sound and image files. They are recog-

nized when loaded, but operation is handled differently.

To transfer the CD’s content to the Media Library:

1. Select it as a playback source, and view the audio files. Still-image files

may not be added to the Media Library.

2. The CD is listed as a single folder, which you may expand as usual.

Select the Add to Library option to import it to the Media Library.

Audio files are transferred in their original format, e.g., as MP3 files.

Auxiliary Inputs

With the analog audio device connected to the Auxiliary Inputs and

the media loaded, either press the Record Button, or press the Menu

Button to view the Main Menu. Scroll to the Record line and press

the Enter Button.

Select “Auxiliary” from the dropdown menu as the recording source.

See Figure 42.

Next, select the Media Library (the only option) as the recording destination.

The screen shown in Figure 43 will appear.

Figure 43 – Record From the Auxiliary Inputs

Select the Listen to Aux In option to monitor the analog device. Begin

playing the device, and cue it up to the desired starting point. Example:

most cassette tapes include about five seconds of blank leader tape, plus

additional blank tape at the beginning. Play until the audio begins so as

to minimize the amount of dead air in the recording.

NOTE:

The DMC 1000 does not detect the presence or absence

of an audio signal at the Auxiliary Inputs.

When you are ready to begin the recording, select the Start Recording

option and begin playback of the analog device. You may experiment

by making several recordings and deleting those you don’t want.

While the recording is in progress, a screen similar to the one shown

in Figure 44 will appear.
