This screen lets you configure various aspects relating to audio playback and
encoding from the iDyl™.
Using the cursor keys, you can move up and down this list in order to adjust the
various options.
•
Encode Type
: This sets how audio tracks will be stored on the hard-disk
when importing audio CDs via the CD-tray.
Push <Cursor Right> on the remote to cycle between the various
encoding types (WAV or MP3).
•
Encode Quality
: This sets the quality of the audio tracks imported.
Better quality means files will take up more hard-disk space.
WAV files are uncompressed, so this field is ignored.

quality coupled with relatively small file sizes on disk.
