the previously installed updates. Next, below the manufacturer's information, are details of
the total size of the hard disk and the amount of free space. The bottom line shows the num-
ber of tracks available on the C.A.R. 4000, followed by information on the fragmentation of
the database. More on this below.

database.
As noted above, the database on the internal hard disk of the C.A.R. 4000 for automatic rec-
ognition of audio-CDs can be updated to recognize newly released CDs. See below for how
easy it is to update the database:
·
download the update file from our web page (
http://www.terratec.com/
) from the C.A.R.
4000 section,
·
carefully read the attached documentation (
release notes
)
·
the update data must be burnt onto a CD as directed in the release notes
(
important
: always place the data in the root directory of the CD, never in a subdirectory)
·
Insert the CD into the C.A.R. 4000 CD-drive
·
Open the main menu with
MENU
·
Select
System
with the wheel
·
Press the wheel to open the submenu
·

Gracenote CDDB Update
·
The update process will start.
The update may take a relatively long time, because the new datasets must be imported into
a very large structure. The base database is approximately 500 MB in size. The following mes-
sages appear in succession during the process: Starting CDDB Update, then Installing CDDB
Update, and finally CDDB Update Finished.
