Overview
This recorder, with its internal hard disc,
supports the following functions:
Recording
The recorder’s HDD can store up to 1,340
hours of data (in ATRAC3) or 125 hours of
data (in LINEAR PCM). Up to 999 albums can
be recorded on the HDD, with one album
containing up to 400 tracks. The maximum
number of tracks that can be recorded on the
HDD is 40,000. Like an MD deck, this
recorder supports Synchro-Recording and the
editing of recorded tracks.
Transferring MP3 format audio files
from your computer
MP3 format audio files stored in your computer
can be transferred to the recorder using the
supplied “M-crew for HAR-LH500” software.
Search
Specific tracks on the HDD can be easily
found.
• Keyword Search (page 21)
A keyword can be entered to find a desired
album or track. Keywords may be the name
of the album, track or artist.
• Artist Play (page 22)
The name of an artist can be used to find all
the songs by that artist (tracks labeled with
the artist’s name).
Automatic insertion of the albums,
tracks and artist’s names by CDDB
With the supplied “M-crew for HAR-LH500”
software, you can access Gracenote CDDB
server* from your computer to label albums,
tracks and artist’s names automatically.
*A database containing information about CDs on
the market
®
Play list
A play list is a receptacle for gathering together
only the tracks that you want. Besides the 999
albums that you can create on the HDD, you
can create up to 10 albums through play lists on
the HDD, with one play list containing up to
400 tracks. Tracks can be repeatedly added to
or deleted from play lists. Since track data are
originally recorded inside albums on the HDD,
the original data are not affected by the deletion
of tracks from a play list.
Notes
• The recorded music is limited to private use
only. Use of the music beyond this limit
requires permission of the copyright holders.
• Sony is not responsible for any loss that may
arise from lost data.

• You may hear sounds as the recorder access the
hard disc when you turn on the recorder, play an
HDD track, record to the HDD, etc. These
sounds are natural to the HDD and are not

• The recorder may make sounds even when no
operation is being performed. These sounds are
produced by the recorder’s self-maintenance
functions and are not abnormal.
• You may also feel vibrations from the recorder,
but this is not a malfunction.
• The copying of digital data is restricted by the
Serial Copy Management System (page 35).
For this reason, digital data recorded from a CD
in the recorder’s CD player, digital data input
from an a CD player connected through the
DIGITAL OPTICAL IN connector, and MP3
files transferred from a computer cannot be
copied to an externally connected recording
device. Note that an MP3 format file that is
transferred from your computer to the HDD is
erased from the computer, and files transferred
to the HDD cannot be transferred back to the
computer.

Recording to HDD
Notes on recording
Before recording
• You cannot select a play list as the recording
destination.
• You cannot record over an existing track. If
you select an album with existing tracks as
the recording destination, the recorder
automatically starts recording from the end of
the existing tracks.
After recording
The HDD play mode automatically switches to
Normal Play.
Automatic conversion of digital
sampling rates
A built-in sampling rate converter
automatically converts the sampling frequency
of various digital sources to the 44.1 kHz
sampling rate of the recorder.
Maximum number of recordable
tracks
Total number of the tracks recorded on the
HDD cannot exceeds 40,000, not counting the
tracks in play lists.
If “Track Full!” appears in the display
when you select the recording
destination
The album already contains 400 tracks, the
maximum number of tracks that can be
recorded to a single album. Select another
album. When using the REC-IT function, the
recording will be cancelled automatically.
If “Drive Full!” appears in the display
while recording to the HDD
Further recording is impossible because there is
not enough recordable space on the HDD or the
maximum number of recordable tracks has
been attained on the HDD. To continue
recording to the HDD, compress the data by
converting tracks to the ATRAC3 format (page
32) or erase unnecessary tracks or albums.

Tips
• You can record 10 times faster than normal CDHDD Synchro-Recording by doing High-Speed
CD-HDD Synchro-Recording with the recording
mode set to “LinearPCM” (factory setting) (this
page). If the recording mode is set to “ATRAC3,”
High-Speed CD-HDD Synchro-Recording will still
be 2 times faster than normal CD-HDD SynchroRecording.
• You can select the recording mode before you start
recording (this page).
• You can use Program Play to specify only the CD
tracks you want to record. After loading a CD, do
the procedure of “Programming the CD tracks” on
page 10. Then do the Synchro-Recording
procedure afterwards.
• If an inserted CD supports CD TEXT, CD TEXT
(track name only) can be saved to the HDD
automatically.
• Synchro-Recording enables the assignment of
album and track names from the Gracenote CDDB
server. For details on the Gracenote CDDB server,
refer to the Help for “M-crew for HAR-LH500.”
