How to Copy an Existing CD
The PSD340 provides several options for duplicating
existing material. First, put a music CD or CD-MP3 into
the CD player drive. If you are not copying the entire
CD, you will need to program a playlist (see pg. 19)
NOTE: When copying CD+G discs, the PSD340 will copy
the audio but not the graphics to a new disc.
Press the RECORD MODE button and turn the SELECT
jog wheel to view the record modes. Press the SELECT
Jog wheel to chose the mode that fits your needs based
on the following descriptions. After a record mode is
selected, the display will read “PUSH REC KEY.”
COPY + LISTEN
This mode is used to digitally copy a CD or a pro-
grammed playlist in real-time while listening to it. This is
an internal recording function that allows no inputs
from outside sources.
An 80-minute CD will take 80 minutes to copy and then
must be finalized in order to play in other CD drives.
COPY 2X
Digitally copy individual or programmed tracks or an
entire disc. This is an internal recording function that
allows no inputs from outside sources. An 80-minute
CD will take approximately 40 minutes to copy and then
must be finalized in order to play in other CD drives.
You cannot listen to the CD as it is being copied.
NOTE: This copy mode does not work for MP3 files.
COPY 2X +FINAL
This is the quickest way to digitally copy individual
programmed tracks or an entire disc. This is an
internal recording function that allows no inputs from
outside sources. An 80-minute CD will take approxi-
mately 40 minutes to copy and will automatically be
finalized at the end of the recording session. The
finalization takes approximately 2 minutes. You
cannot listen to the CD as it is being copied.
NOTE: This copy mode does not work for MP3 files.
CONV HALFSPEED
This will record individual or programmed tracks at
half speed. The converted recording will play one
octave lower which provides a powerful tool for
difficult music transcription. NOTE: This process requires
twice the space on a disc as the original recording, thus
40 minutes is the maximum amount you can convert at
half speed to a blank 80 minute CD-R or CD-RW disc.
NOTE: This copy mode does not work for MP3 files.
Converting MP3s to Red Book Audio
Note: The PSD340 does not record or duplicate
MP3 files. What it will do, is convert MP3 files to
CD audio tracks. If a disc of MP3 files is inserted into
the CD Player drive and a copy mode is initiated, the
PSD340 will convert the MP3 files to Red Book Audio
format. This means that the finalized copy will be
playable in standard CD players. Most CD-R and CD-RW
discs store 80 minutes worth of CD quality audio. Since
MP3 is a compressed file format, it is possible to store
far more than 80 minutes worth of audio on a disc
using MP3s. If you attempt to copy more than 80
minutes of MP3 audio to a blank 80-minute disc, the
PSD340 will simply display “DOES NOT FIT.” When
copying MP3 files, be aware of the playing time for
each file. Make sure that you are copying less than 80
minutes of audio.
How to Record a Song Segment
If you only want to record part of a CD audio track or a
particular section of an MP3 file, the PSD340 makes it
easy. Just follow these steps to utilize Song Segment
Recording.
1. Follow steps 1- 3 in the section above, “Activating
“Record with CD” mode.
2. The display will read “PUSH REC KEY”. Next, press
the SELECT jog wheel to switch to the CD player drive.
3. Use the SELECT jog wheel to scroll to the track you
wish to record. Skip step #4 if you intend to start
recording from the beginning of the track.
4. Fast forward or play a song until you reach the point
in the track you wish to record, then pause when
you get there.
5. Press the SELECT jog wheel to return to the CD-R drive.
6. Push the RECORD button. Recording will begin from
the point at which you paused the CD or CD-MP3.
NOTE: The recording will continue on to the next
track, unless you are recording with the last track on
a CD or you press the CD-R drive stop button.
