Sony DCR-TRV39 - Manual (Page 36)

2-4-2 Audio CD Recording Mode
Caution
Please take note of the following points before recording an audio CD.
Analog recording (Windows only)
●
CDs mounted on an external drive can not be recorded.
●
The output from the CD drive must be streamed through a sound card (meaning that the CD audio
output jacks are connected to the CD input jacks on the sound card). Sound quality may be of a
slightly lower quality than the original CD.
●
When another sound recording application (wave form audio device, etc.) is running, it is
impossible to record with ImageMixer.
●
Having more than one CD player open may cause problems, such as the track list not being
displayed. ImageMixer itself may also experience problems. Close other CD players before
recording with ImageMixer.
●
To avoid any possibility that ImageMixer is unable to record in Windows, go to Control
Panel>System>Device Manager Tab>CD-ROM and select the brand name of the CD-ROM
device installed on your computer. From there, click the Properties button, and finally the
Properties tab. On this screen, make sure that there is no check next to "Enable digital CD audio
for this CD-ROM device."
Digital recording
●
If digital recording from the CD drive is not possible, try analog recording.
Macintosh supports only digital recording
Recording in Macintosh
When another player is running, recording may not be possible. If [Auto Play] is selected in the
QuickTime settings, playback will begin shortly after an audio CD is inserted. ImageMixer functions,
such as Play and Record, are not available at this time. Change the settings of the relevant software to
disable the automatic play option.
In Windows, the recording mode can be changed via the Capturing/Recording Preferences .
