Using the remote control
Using the RM-12
The RM-12 is a sophisticated, two-way remote control, which uses an infrared light (IR) signal to send and receive information. In order to complete an instruction sequence, the RM-12 must be aimed at the I-Mix unit until all the commands have been executed. When you press a button, the remote sends a signal to the IM-120, which processes the signal. In return, the IM-120 sends back information which is displayed on the remote's LCD screen. If it cannot complete the communication sequence, the RM-12 will display an "IR Retry" prompt. The remote also has a unique three-step power button that allows it to enter an idle energy-saving mode if unused for more than 5 minutes. Take a moment to review the chart below, which illustrates the functions of the power button.

Record a CD
Record a CD - Using the front panel controls
The I-Mix has three different modes for recording your audio CDs: Rapid Archive, Play and Compress or Compress. The Rapid Archive mode enables you to record a CD at six times normal speed (6X). You cannot listen to a CD being recorded in the Rapid Archive mode. To enable the rapid transfer of a CD to the hard drive, the file will be compressed later, when the IMix is turned off. It will enter a "sleep" mode to compress all uncompressed music and then turn off automatically. The Play and Compress mode lets you listen to the CD while compressing it to the hard drive in MP3 format at normal play speed. The Compress mode compresses the music to the hard drive in MP3 format at normal play speed without playing it. To learn more about these recording modes and the "sleep"/compression mode, see the Advanced Features section of the manual on pages 35 39. A generic name, such as !Album 0001 will be assigned to each recorded album. To provide song/album/artist title information for your albums, see the Intelligent CD Recognition section on page 40.
To record a CD in the Rapid Archive mode, follow the instructions below.
Be sure the IM-120 and the RM-12 are turned on before you begin.

CD Recognition
You can use Intelligent CD Recognition to identify albums after recording them. To help you identify the album name and song titles, the I-Mix is equipped with an internal database of over 280,000 album names and 3.5 million song titles. The database identifies a CD based on the information you enter and the number of tracks on the CD. Upon successfully identifying a CD, the album name and song titles will automatically appear in the corresponding menus.

If not identified prior to recording, albums will be assigned a generic name, such as "!Album 0001". Generic albums names begin with an exclamation point - !Album 0001 - and appear at the beginning of the HDD (Album) list. The most recently recorded album will be given the highest number. Songs will be listed as Track 01, Track 02 and so on.
