About the Gracenote
®  
Database
The Gracenote
®
 Database is a database used to search and 
retrieve CD title information.
When a CD is inserted or recording from a CD begins, the unit 
will automatically search for and obtain information about the 
inserted CD. 
The Gracenote Database comes pre-installed on this unit, 
so titles and artist information can be obtained. Please note 
however that the newest CD titles, etc. may not be registered 
yet to the internal database. This unit has an internal database 
containing information for approximately 350,000 album titles.
You can update the internal database (  65).
If there are CDs with very similar title information, then 
the incorrect title information may be obtained. If no title 
suggestions are found, then track name, and artist name will be 
blank.
In these cases, enter the CD title information manually, after 
recording to the HDD has completed.
