INFORMATION ON RECORDING AND ENCODING
• From the main menu, select Options, then click through:
Preferences ™ Recording Options.
– For best recording results, select Use Error Correction,
then click OK.
• RUSH plays files encoded with the popular MP3,
RealAudio, Wave Audio and Secure Files Setting formats.
Select Encoding Options to select your recording format
and quality level:
– MP3 Audio is MPEG layer 3 Audio. Compression levels
available are: 96, 64, and 56 Kbps stereo, using the supplied
RealJukebox software. If you upgrade your software,
Philips RUSH can play music up to 224 Kbps. This has the
best sound quality, but uses the most disk space.
– RealAudio is RealNetworks' audio format. This format
saves your music as RealAudio (.rmx) secure or RealAudio
unsecured (.rmj) files. Compression levels available are:
96, 64, and 44 stereo, and 32 Kbps mono. Among these,
96 Kbps has the best sound quality, but uses the most disk
space.
– Wave Audio is unencoded music that is not compressed.
This format has the best quality sound but uses the largest
file size, as much as 650MB per CD.
– Secure Files Setting: has two further options. Secure
Files On, where files recorded with security on can only be
played on the personal computer on which they were
recorded. Secure Files Off allows the recorded files to be
played on more than one computer.
