Ejecting a CD or Turning Off the
Vehicle While Recording
If the CD is ejected or the vehicle is
turned off before the recording
process has completed, tracks that
have been completely recorded are
stored to the HDD. Incomplete
tracks are discarded.
Re-recording Audio CDs
If a CD has already been recorded,
the radio system will not record the
contents again. If a partially
recorded CD is selected for
recording, only those songs which
are not already on the HDD will be
recorded.
Audio CD Song, Artist, Album,
and Genre Information
Radios with HDD contain a
Gracenote
®Database that the radio
uses to determine the song, artist,
album, and genre information. The
Gracenote Database allows the
radio to record an audio CD to the HDD and store the content using
song, artist, album, and genre
information.
Newly released audio CDs as well
as some less common audio CDs
may not be found in the Gracenote
Database stored on the HDD.
If these audio CDs contain CD-text,
the radio will use the CD-text
information when recording the
content to the HDD. If an audio CD
is not found in the Gracenote
Database and it does not have
CD-text information, the radio will
record the audio CD with all song,
artist, album and genre names as
“NO INFO.”
Songs recorded with
“NO INFO”to
the HDD will be hard to sort,
identify, and select. To make HDD
navigation easier, CDs with “NO
INFO” can first be converted to MP3
format with Tag information on a
home computer and then recorded
to the HDD from an MP3 disc or
USB device. Occasionally, the radio may find
more than one match in the
Gracenote Database for an audio
CD that has been recorded. If this
happens, the radio will display
“Multi‐Hit”
for the name information
when the songs are selected from
the HDD. With a “Muli‐Hit”song
playing, press the button below the
EDIT tab to bring up the list of
multiple names found in the
Gracenote Database. Use the
MENU/SELECT knob to highlight
and select the correct name for the
“Multi‐Hit” recorded CD.
The Gracenote Database stored on
the HDD can be updated so that it
includes name information for more
recently released audio CDs. See
your dealer for more information on
Gracenote
®Database updates for
the HDD radio.
