Recording on a USB Storage Device (1)
This unit can record sound from a CD, cassette tape or connected
external device in MP3 format to a USB storage device.
This unit can also record to cassette tape, but it cannot record to
both USB and tape at the same time.
This unit cannot record to a USB storage with the timer recording
function.
CAUTION
Do not disconnect the USB storage device during recording.
Do not turn the unit off or disconnect the power cord during
recording. Doing so might cause damage to the AD-800 and
the connected USB storage device.
About recorded MP3 files
When recording, “RECORD” folder is automatically created and a
subfolder for each source (“CD”, “TAPE” or “LINE”) is also created
in the “RECORD” folder. MP3 files are added to the corresponding
subfolder.
File names are assigned automatically with a numerical endings in
order.
When recorded from a CD
“CD001.MP3”, “CD002.MP3” …
If there are, for example, files named “CD004.MP3” and “CD009.
MP3” in the USB folder already, and you make a recording, the next
new file will be named “CD010.MP3”.
When recorded from a cassette tape
“T001.MP3”, “T002A.MP3“ …
When record from an external source
“L001.MP3”
During recording from a tape or LINE input, you can divide the file
manually (page 30). In this case, consecutive numbers are added to
the ends of the file names.
Example:
If “T001.MP3” is divided, files named “T001.MP3” and “T002.MP3” are
created.
This unit can record up to 999 files to a USB device. However, if the
USB device already contains files, those files are included in the
maximum total of 999 files when recording.
The maximum time possible for a recorded file is 240 minutes, and
a new file is created when the time exceeds 240 minutes. When a
new file is created, recording will pause for a few seconds.
When recording from a CD containing MP3 files, the maximum
recording time is 3 hours.
Tracks recorded onto a USB storage device are converted to MP3
files at a bit rate of 128 kbps.
