writing to a CD
The HP Digital Entertainment Center writes to CD-R and CD-RW discs that comply with the
Digital Audio standard. Digital Audio CDs are widely available through consumer electronics
retailers.
To create a CD on the digital entertainment center, you first compile the list of tracks you want
to write to CD and choose a music format. Then you can refine the list before writing it to CD.
1 Place a blank Digital Audio CD (CD-R or CD-RW media) in the CD tray.
2 From the library menu, select Music or Playlists.
3 Navigate down to the appropriate level and highlight the first item you want to add to
your CD.
You can add items track by track, or you can add multi-track items, such as an entire
album or a complete playlist.
4 When the item is highlighted, press OPTIONS:
5 Select add to, then select cd-writer.
6 Select the music format you want to use (see “selecting a music format” on page 48).
7 Continue adding items to the add pad by navigating through the music list and
pressing ADD:
note The digital entertainment center writes CDs at a speed up to 8x when you use digital audio
CD-R discs and up to 4x when you use digital audio CD-RW discs.
tip
Once you’ve chosen music
files to write to CD, the list is
accessible until you write the
CD (from the library menu,
select
CD-Writer to access
the list).
When the writing process is
complete, your list of songs
is deleted.
If you want to create a list that
remains available (such as to
download to a portable device
or just to listen to), build a
playlist first, then add the
playlist to your
tracks for
