Functional restrictions that vary with the connected system stereo component

The functions that can be used and the icons displayed on the M-crew Tool bar depend on the system stereo component connected to your computer. For example, M-crew may not support timer and CD-TEXT information display functions for certain system stereo components, even if those components have timer and CD-TEXT information display functions.

For more information about the system stereo components that are compatible with M-crew and the functions that are supported, please go to the following URL on the World Wide Web.

http://www.sony.co.jp/en/Products/homeaudio/

Notes

• In this manual, the term “system stereo component” refers specifically to component stereo systems (incorporating CD and MD decks) and discrete MD decks that support PC-LINK connections.

• The displays shown in this manual are those for a CMT-PX3 stereo system.

Notes

• To deselect the currently selected track, click on an empty area (i.e., a place with no button or function key) in the Time display.

• In M-crew, the original music file is registered, not a copy. Therefore, when you delete a registered music file or rename it using Explorer or another file management tool, M-crew will no longer be able to play that music file.

• A dimmed track name indicates that some abnormality has happened to the track and that it cannot be played back by M-crew.

• M-crew identifies and plays back music files according to the file name. This key attribute must therefore never be changed.
