time source)
• Transfer Music files from your PC using a network
You may choose to use any or all of these methods at any time. Each
is described on the following pages.
RECORDING FROM THE INTERNAL CD
The easiest way to get music into your MS300 is to record CDs using
the built-in internal CD-RW drive. This method requires no additional
equipment and is very fast, as the internal CD drive can rip audio at
several times the speed of normal playback. This is known as “fast-
ripping”.
Follow these steps to record using the internal CD-RW drive:
1. Press the EJECT key on the front panel.
2. Insert an audio CD (label side up) into the CD-RW tray.
3. Press the EJECT key again to close the CD-RW tray.
4. The CD’s artist, album, and track names are automatically
retrieved from the Gracenote® Music Recognition Service and
are displayed on your TV.
5. Press the RECORD key on the remote control to display the
Recording Options Menu.
6. Press the RECORD key a second time to choose the default
recording option “Record to Internal Hard Drive”.
7. The Record Select Guide will be displayed showing the
current CD with checkmarks to the right of each track name.
8. Press the RECORD key a third time to begin recording the
entire CD to the internal hard drive.
• When recording is complete, the MS300 will return to the Music
Guide.
