RECORDING
You can make new recordings onto the MediaServer’s
external storage device by recording directly from CDs
DVDs and BluRay discs, using the disc slot.
Your MS1-3D can access the internet, using a broadband
internet connection, to automatically retrieve
information about the disc. Album information, such as
artist, album, track names and cover illustrations, and
movie information, such as movie rating, director and
chapter titles are automatically downloaded and saved.
Note
: In some countries the copying of material
protected by copyright law may require permission of
the copyright owners.
The system will only record unencrypted DVDs and
BluRay discs.
AUDIO RECORDING QUALITY
The system allows you to record music and store it in a
number of different formats:
MPEG-layer 3 (MP3)
You can record to MP3 at a number of different bit rates.
Higher bitrates give better quality but take up more
space on your MediaServer’s external storage device. By
default, the unit records music at 192Kb VBR MP3.
WAV (lossless uncompressed)
The WAV format is uncompressed, which gives the
highest possible quality, but takes up the most space.
Windows Media Audio (WMA standard)
WMA is a compression format similar to MP3. Again,
higher bitrates give better quality but larger files. WMA
Lossless is not supported.

The units can be configured so that discs can be recorded
