Numark HDCD1 - 11 – User’s Guide
• The unit will now begin the compression process.
Note: Because compressing takes time, you should do this when you don’t need to use the unit for
other tasks. While the HDCD1 is perfectly capable of compressing these audio files, you may find
that your computer is much faster.
If your CD was not available in the Gracenote database stored internally in the HDCD1, you can
update the internal database with information from the online version of the Gracenote Music
Recognition Service:
• Start the HDCD MANAGER software and connect the unit via USB.
• Press the “Gracenote” button.
• Click on the album you want to lookup from the list at the top. If you did not name it, look
for “ALBUM.0000”
• Press the “search database” button. Your computer will then poll the Gracenote Music
Recognition database to attempt to match the album to retrieve title and artist information.
If it finds any matches, they will appear in the box below. Just click on the correct selection
and press the “Accept” button. If it finds no matching album it will prompt you to enter the
information manually.

4) The HDCD1 is also capable of recording and encoding directly from the input jacks on the rear of
the unit:
First you must determine the desired audio quality that you will want when you compress and
convert the audio recording into an MP3 file:
• Press the UTILITY button.
• Select “COMPRESSION”.
• Select “LINE” and choose the encoding quality (128kbps/320kbps/CD Quality) by pressing
the select button.
• Press “BACK”.
Next, connect your line level source to the input jacks on the rear of the unit. If recording
from a turntable you will need to use a phono preamp to boost the signal from phono
level to line level.
• Press the RECORD button on deck 1.
• Select “EXTERNAL LINE IN”.
• The HDCD1 will auto-detect an incoming audio signal and start recording. When the signal
is no longer present, recording will stop automatically. You can also press the BACK button
to stop the recording manually.
• The recorded file will be named “LineIn.0000”. The number will increment for subsequent
recorded files. You can rename this file later by following the “Editing Song Information”
section of this manual.
