RESENTING A NEW WAY TO PLAY
English FrançaisEspañol
• Using the log pages at the back of this guide is one way to track the order of the CDs you
store. Or you can rely on the system Library to keep the list for you.
• Allow the system a little time to learn the choices you would make. But don’t worry, this
“DJ” is a fast learner.
• After the tracks on a CD are stored, any of them can be deleted. You can do this in the !
System menu, under Stored CDs.
Note: For information on how to use the System menu, refer to “Using System Menus” on
page 32
. For details on how to eliminate tracks, refer to “DVD settings options” on page 46.
Planning time to store your music
Storing entails two actions: placing the tracks from each CD in a holding area and processing
the tracks for efficient storage. This frees up the holding area. While the holding area is !
temporarily full, no more storage is possible. As an indicator, the media center displays the
message: BUSY PROCESSING CDS.
If you turn off the system, this processing goes faster. If you choose to use the system while it
is processing, the storing activity continues, but it may take a little longer.
If your CD collection is extensive, plan on several sessions to store all the tracks. Consider
the guidelines below for scheduling these sessions.
How much time to allow for storing CDs
• For storing 10 discs: 1 hour, although CDs that are damaged or need cleaning take longer.*!
(Allow about 5 minutes per disc, with some time for inserting and removing each disc.)
• For processing (searching databases and cataloging all the tracks) 10 discs: 6 hours, while
the system is turned off.
How many CDs you can store
• Using the AV 38 media center (indicated on the bottom): approximately 200 hours of music
or well over 200 CDs.
• Using the AV 48 media center (indicated on the bottom): approximately 340 hours of music
or well over 350 CDs.
What you can listen to while storing CDs
• You can listen to the AM or FM radio tuner, other CD tracks that are already stored, or other
sources connected to the system, like your TV (an analog connection is required).
• You cannot listen to the CD that is being stored, or watch a DVD using the media center
disc tray.
• As soon as the media center displays 100%, you can listen to the CD you have just stored
(using the CD player or Stored as the source), or you can replace the CD with a DVD and
watch a video.
• If your setup includes a Bose
®
link network, you can continue to listen to the system in
other rooms, too.
• You may notice some minor interruptions to the audio temporarily. But, if you have the
source connected using both digital and analog cables, you can still enjoy listening to it.
*If you notice one disc taking considerably longer to store, it may need to be cleaned. Refer to
“Cleaning discs” on page 55.
