Recording Music

Your VIA!dj allows you to record music from CDs and add it to the Library stored on the

Hard Disk. Using either its built-in modem or an Ethernet connection, the VIA!dj

automatically checks the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition Service and XiVA web-

site when you record a CD, and downloads the Album Title, Track Titles, Artist Name,

Genre for the CD and Cover Art. If you do not provide an Internet connection you can

label the CDs you record manually.

The VIA!dj can record DTS 5.1 encoded audio CDs. These CDs must be recorded un-

compressed and can only be played out of the VIA!dj’s digital output, which should be

connected to a surround sound processor.

The VIA!dj can not record:

• Copy protected CDs

• Non-audio CDs

• CD-ROMs that have not been ‘closed’

• HDCD

• CD-i

• SACD

• DVD Video or Audio

Note: To insure 100% audio integrity, recording time may slow down in order to cor-

rectly record the audio information from CDs that may have impurities on them such

as ﬁ ngerprints, dust, scratches, etc. Also, the VIA!dj uses a great deal of its processing

power while in RECORD mode. You may therefore experience slightly longer delays

when accessing music from the VIA!dj’s hard drive while it is recording.
