Graphic Display of Audio
To show a graphical display as a track is played:
1. Click the Graphic Display icon. As music or audio is played, you see a graphical
display representing the audio.
2. Click inside the graphic display screen to change among several display types.
Recording Audio
You can use MVP 2000 to record MP3 files, WAV files, WMA files, or CDA tracks
directly to a blank CD media. MVP 2000 will automatically decode these formats
and record them on the fly as a standard audio CD (CD/DA, Red Book audio). These
audio CDs can be played on most home, car, computer, and portable CD players.
(Note that most portable and home CD players won’t play CD-RW discs.)
Recording Digital Music to CD-R or CD-RW
To record digital music to CD-R or CD-RW:
1. Place a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc in the PlexWriter.
2. In the main MVP 2000 window, set the CD/DA–A/V rocker switch to the A/V
(lower) position.
3. Click the Playlist icon and create a playlist of your selections. Use the
Add/Delete buttons to select any of a variety of supported music formats. Change
the order of your selections in the list by clicking and dragging.
4. Once your playlist is complete, click the Record to CD-R button in the
MVP 2000 window to record your compilation to the CD-R or CD-RW disc.
For more about playlists and how to use them, see page 20.
NOTE: If you have CD writing software that auto starts when a blank disc is inserted,
please wait for the application to load. Then exit the software and start MVP 2000. A
good example of such an application is DirectCD from Adaptec.
Choosing a Disc for Recording
In choosing whether to record to CD-R or CD-RW media, remember this: Almost all
CD players will play CD-R discs, but at present, only a few newer CD/DVD players
can play CD-RW discs. Most home CD players won’t play CD-RW discs. (Your
PlexWriter, naturally, plays both types.)
