Ripping sound directly from a CD to a USB device
You can record sound from a CD to a USB device. 
This function is generally called “ripping” or “digital 
audio extraction”. 
CAUTION
• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to 
re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or 
discs without the consent of the owner of 
copyright in the sound or video recording, 
broadcast or cable program and in any liter-
ary, dramatic musical, or artistic work 
embodied therein.
• Only a CD formatted with Compact Disc Digital 
Audio (CD-DA) standard is compatible with this 
function. You cannot record sound from CDs 
with other formats, other types of discs, or other 
sources.
• A track from a CD is digitally recorded and con-
verted into an MP3 file.
• This system uses a constant recording speed of 
x1. Sound is recorded at bit rate of 128 kbps. 
You cannot increase the recording speed.
*For the number button usage, refer to “Using the 
number buttons” on page 12.
■ IMPORTANT
• Slide the remote control mode 
selector to [AUDIO].

Display window
• When recording finishes, the “REC” indica- tor turns off.
NOTE
• When you want to quit recording, press  7. 
When you press  7 after [ENTER] is pressed in 
step 6, sound having been recorded before  7 is 
pressed is stored. After pressing  7, if you want 
to disconnect the USB device, wait until the 
“REC” indicator stops flashing and disappears. 
• Do not operate the main unit when “PLEASE  WAIT...” is displayed on the TV screen or “WAIT” 
is displayed in the display window. Wait until the 
display disappears. 
• If “NO USB” appears in the display window,  check the USB device or its connection. 
• “CANT REC” appears in the display window if  recording cannot continue for some reason.
- The USB device may be connected improp-
erly. Check the connection.
- You may be trying to record write protected  tracks.
- You may be trying to record sound from a CD- R or CD-RW. The Serial Copy Management 
System (SCMS) protects copyright and allows 
only first-generation digital copies from the 
digitally recordable source. In short, you can-
not make “a copy of a copy”.
- You may be trying to  record more than the lim-
ited number of recordable tracks. You can 
record up to 999 tra cks to a group and 4 000 
tracks to a USB device.
- The number of tracks that  can be recorded to 
the root group may be limited on the USB 
device. The number of tracks may have 
exceeded the limitation. In this case, select 
another group or create a new group.
• Changes to the volume and quality of the sound  during recording do not affect the recorded 
sound or the recorded sound level. 
• The following functions do not affect the  recorded sound: the tr eble/bass adjustment 
function (page 12), K2 function (page 13 [only for 
NX-F7]), speaker volume level function (page 
13), surround mode function (page 13), head-
phone surround function (page 14) and clear 
voice function (page 14). 
• When “RANDOM” is selected, operating this  function automatically  cancels random playback.
CAUTION
• Do not bump or move the  main unit while record-
ing sound. Such movement may interfere with 
recording. 
• Do not disconnect the USB device during 
recording, as this may cause malfunction. 
Instead of step 3 on page 42, start 
playback of the desired track. 
• You can use the number buttons,  4 or ¢ no to 
select a track. 
• Finishing step 6 returns playback to the begin- ning of the current track and only that track is 
recorded. 
NOTE
• You can also record on ly the desired track by 
pausing the track instead of step 3 on page 42. 
• When “RANDOM” is selected, operating this  function automatically  cancels random playback.
Before proceeding to step 4 on page 
42, program the desired tracks. 
• Refer to steps 1 and 2 on pages 29 and 30 for 
programming tracks. 
• The following procedure is the same as steps 4  to 6 on page 42 and this page.
