downloaded so they will work with your DMIX-600

the “manually manage music” box and make sure that the
“Enable for disk use” box is checked. Then you can re-check “the

the preferences box opens choose the “ADVANCED” pane, and
in the “ADVANCED” pane choose the Importing button

option, which will set iTunes™ to prompt you when a disc is
inserted, so iTunes will not automatically start ripping a cd when
inserted.
Then, next to the “Import Using” you can choose one of two for-

NO COMPRESSION(WAV)
If you wish to keep your music files Full quality (No compression)
you may set the Import Using button to WAV encoder, and set
the “Setting” menu to automatic, The rest of the setting should
stay as they were.
But remember files that were downloaded or ripped to Mp3
will not sound any better by converting them to this format
all you will be doing will be increasing thier size 300%!
