System and User Settings
Although you can normally use the MS250 without changing the factory-set options, the Setup
preferences allow you to fine-tune the way your MS250 operates to suit your own requirements.
To display the SETUP menu page, choose Settings from the left-hand window of the MUSIC-SOURCE
home page:
The Audio menu
Choose this option to set the options for controlling how CDs and MP3s are stored and compressed,
default actions on loading a CD, party settings and locking the audio volume for a particular zone.
The options are:
Store format
This option allows you to set the default CD storage format: from the highest quality (uncompressed)
through five levels of MP3 compression to the most compact (MP3, 128kb/s compression).
Store options
This option allows you to select or deselect ‘Background compression’, which ensures that disc
compression is only carried out when the MS250 is in standby mode. You can set the standby time
manually in the Time menu. An indication that compression is taking place is given on the front panel,
with a simple ‘Ooo’ animation.
CD format
Two options are provided for the CD burn format: Audio CD or Data CD. Data CD format is useful for
storing a large number of compressed MP3 files.
CD action
These options allow you to choose the default action on loading a CD: Show tracks, Play tracks, Store
tracks, or Do nothing (until a command is received from the front panel controls or remote control).
Audio mode
These options are for setting a ‘party setting’: Independent control of output from each zone, a Party
mode playing to all zones, or playback controlled from Zone 1 only.
Lock volume
This option allows you to Lock or Unlock the volume setting on a zone-by-zone basis.
