7 – Dubbing (copying)
Using this unit’s dubbing (copying) function you can dub the
content of a CD to an SD card or USB flash drive. Moreover, you
can change the format used for the dubbed files.
Dubbing overview
When this unit dubs a CD to an SD card or USB flash drive, it
plays the CD back continuously regardless of the playback mode
setting.
When dubbing a data CD, depending on the playback area
setting, the entire CD (
ALL PLAY
) or the current folder (
FOLDER
)
will be dubbed to the SD card or USB flash drive.
Dubbing always creates new folders and creates the dubbed
files in those folders.
Dubbing never deletes existing files.
A dubbed folder can be assigned as a direct folder to the
selected main unit FOLDER/TRACK SELECT (1–10/0) button or
remote number (1–10/0) button.
Formats of dubbed files
This unit can create dubbed files in the following formats.
WAV
MP3 (HQ/MQ/LQ)
NOTE
When dubbing, a folder named “/music/albumXXX/” (“XXX” is a
3-digit number, such as “001”) is created on the media used for
dubbing, and a file is created for each dubbed CD track with a file
name in the format “trackXXX.wav” (or “trackXXX.mp3”).
When set to ALL PLAY, if you dub a data CD with multiple folders,
all the files will be dubbed to single folder.
Operation during dubbing
During dubbing, this unit operates in the following manner.
o
The audio of the CD being dubbed is output.
o
SD cards and USB flash drives cannot be played back.
o
Continuous playback mode is used for CD playback
regardless of the playback mode setting.
NOTE
•
Depending on the SD card or USB flash drive used for
dubbing, recording might not be able to keep up with the
audio input. If this occurs, the CD playback sound might skip
or parts of the audio might be repeated during playback.
This will not, however, affect the recording to the SD card or
USB flash drive.
•
When an audio CD is dubbed, silent gaps will occur between
dubbed tracks when they are played back even if the audio
on the CD was continuous between tracks.
•
When dubbing a data CD, it does not simply copy the files on
the CD to the SD card or USB flash drive.
•
Regardless of the sampling rates of the source files, the
dubbed files will all be converted to a sampling rate of 44.1
kHz.
