You can an import an audio file (WAV/AIFF) from a CD-ROM
or CD-R/RW disc inserted in the CD-R/RW drive or from the
internal hard disk.
Before doing this, the following preparations are necessary.
■ When importing from the CD-R/RW drive
Insert a CD-ROM or CD-R/RW disc containing audio files
into the CD-R/RW drive.
■ When importing from the internal hard disk
Copy audio files from a computer into a folder named
“WAV_AIFF” immediately under the root directory (top
level folder) of the internal hard disk.
The files must have the extension “.WAV” (for WAV files)
or “.AIF” (for AIFF files).
NOTE
• Any subfolders in the WAV_AIFF folder are not recognized by the
HD8/HD16.
• The following procedure will not allow you to first listen to the
audio files. Confirm file content and file name before you start
the procedure.
