Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the PSD340 Music
Practice CD Recording System. The PSD340 is a combina-
tion CD player and CD recorder with special features
designed for music teachers, choral directors, vocalists,
musicians and sound engineers. Tune up, practice to the
metronome, control the playback of CDs and MP3 files
for custom accompaniment, and record directly to CD.
It’s convenient and easy with the PSD340.
Features for Music Practice
• Change the key of a song without affecting tempo
(± one octave in half steps or finer increments)
• Change the tempo of a song without affecting
musical pitch (-75% to +50%)
• Change key and tempo simultaneously
• Select A-B (Point A to Point B) repeat loops
• Reduce lead vocals from stereo recordings
• Use built-in metronome
• Use built-in chromatic tuner and 440Hz tone
• Play and manipulate MP3 audio files on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc
• CD-G graphics output (with optional decoder)
Recording Features
• Direct recording to CD-R (write once) or CD-RW
(rewritable) discs
• Recording of music manipulations such as key or
tempo changes
• Built-in microphone preamplifiers
• Built-in condenser microphone
• Automatic Rec Level Control for “worry free” recording
• Record-Review which allows immediate playback of
the last track recorded
• Mixing of CD or CD-MP3 (MP3 files on a disc)
accompaniment with mic or instrument input
• Independent operation of the CD recording drive
and CD player drive. Audio from the CD player can
be mixed with other sources, processed, and routed
back to the CD recording drive through the DIGITAL IN
Recommended Media
The PSD340 will record on computer CD-R or CD-RW
data discs as well as “Music CD-R” discs. The most
important factor in choosing CD-R or CD-RW media is a
1X speed rating. Choose brand name discs that are
rated 1X (e.g. 1X - 40X) or imply 1X (e.g., “up to
40X”). We do not recommend using generic discs with
the PSD340. If possible, test any brand before buying in
bulk.
