Copies the currently playing track to the USB device.
You can do this from the remote by pressing the rip button.
Makes a backup copy of your music to a USB device.
The device stores music on an internal hard drive. Hard disks are subject to a certain amount of
wear. To prevent data loss, you should regularly backup your data. arcus is not responsible for
possible data loss!
arcus does not accept responsibility for damages caused by updates performed improperly.
Keep the device away from magnetic fields, e.g. unshielded speakers, which can otherwise lead to
data loss.
The internal hard disk is a mechanical device like the engine on a car and is subject to wear and
breakdown. It makes sense to make a backup of the music to save having to reload the CDs in the
event of a breakdown. To backup the music you will need a USB hard drive formatted with FAT32
and with sufficient capacity. You can find how much space is used by the music on the internal
using Disk Stats in the Main menu.
Backup is time consuming but is incremental and is done in the background. That means you can
listen to music while doing a backup. It also means you can interrupt a backup - press and hold the
play/stop key - and restart it later.
Incidentally if you buy a second arcus MusicStation for another room in your home then you can use
the backup to load the second arcus MusicStation rather than reload all your CDs onto the second
system. While the system is doing a backup (and not otherwise engaged) it displays the number of
tracks backed-up and the percentage through the current track.
This recovers music from a backup USB hard drive.
Just like the backup - restore is time consuming, incremental and done in the background.
You may notice that when you attach a backup disk to the USB port that arcus MusicStation will
allow you to search and play music from the backup disk.
