RECORDING MUSIC

Your VIA!dj allows you to record music from CDs and add it to
the music library stored on the Hard Disk. Using either its 
built-in modem or an Ethernet connection, your VIA!dj 
automatically checks the Gracenote CDDB Music Recognition
Service and XiVA website 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 con-
nection you can label the CDs you record manually.

The VIA!dj can record DTS 5.1 encoded audio CDs. These
CDs must be recorded uncompressed 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 correctly record the audio information from
CDs that may have impurities on them such as fingerprints,
dust, scratches, etc. Also, the VIA!dj uses a great deal of its
processing power while in 

RECORD

mode. You may therefore
