- Xitel MD-Port users manual DG1

The DG1 automatically adds track marks without the need for a two or three second gap of silence

between each track. Many media players offer a gapping facility as a plug-in. Make sure to disable any

gapping feature before recording with the DG1. MusicMatch Jukebox Plus includes a special feature for

users that record using an analog source, which automatically adds a 3 second gap of silence between

tracks during playback. To turn the MusicMatch Jukebox Plus gapping feature off, click on Options, then

scroll down and click on MiniDisc Analog Trackmarking. The check mark will disappear to show the

feature is disabled.

11. During recording it not advisable to use any other applications on your system. Most MP3 players

require large amounts of resources to ensure flawless MP3 decoding and playback. If you interfere

with the computer during recording, it can effect MP3 decoding, which can in turn effect the quality

of your recording. Read the next section for further tips on getting the best results out of your DG1.

Tips for getting the best results with your DG1

The DG1 is a high fidelity, digital medium for transferring audio between a PC and MiniDisc recorder.

Because it is digital, it will only ever send what it information it receives and cannot therefore effect the

quality of your recording in any way. If you're finding distortion in a recording, there are a couple of

possible reasons.

The first is that the original source MP3 or wav file contains distortion, or is being corrupted during

playback. Because the DG1 plays these files exactly, any anomalies in an original recording, or that occur

during playback, will also be played. To reduce the likelihood of distortion in your source file, make sure

not to use your computer for any other tasks during ripping, MP3 compression, or playback. Contact the

vendor of your ripper and encoder to make sure you meet their minimum system requirements and are

using the program correctly.

If your source file does not contain any distortion, another place that it can be corrupted is in the

MiniDisc recorder. Make sure that the DG1's output level is not set too high. Having the output of the

DG1 set higher than the maximum input level of your MiniDisc recorder can cause degradation in sound

quality. Most MiniDisc recorders have an input level indicator that allows you to monitor the strength of

the input signal. Verify that the MiniDisc recorder is not being overloaded. If distortion is still occurring,

make sure that the lens of your MiniDisc recorder is clean.
