consolidating dial-up connections

when recording

If you want to record from several CDs and you use a dial-up connection, here’s the most

efficient way to gather the CD information. This method lets you avoid repeated dial-ups (the

longest part of the information gathering process) to make multiple database retrievals (a

very short part of the process).
To gather CD information for several CDs:

1

On the front panel, press the Open Tray button:
Insert a CD, then close the tray.

2

Press CD:
The digital entertainment center retrieves the CD information.

3

When the CD track titles appear, remove the CD and insert another. This time the

information appears quickly, because the Internet connection is already live.

note

The digital entertainment center attempts to retrieve CD information only the first time a
CD is inserted. If you insert a CD and the digital entertainment center does not attempt to
retrieve its data, press

OPTIONS

, then select

cd info

to get the CD information.

4

Repeat steps 1 through 3 for all of the CDs you plan to record.

The digital entertainment center now recognizes each of the CDs you've inserted. It does not

need to connect again when you play or record the CDs.
