The C.A.R. 4000 is the complete digital audio center for your Hi-Fi rack. It combines the functionality of a digital audio recorder, a CD player and a digital jukebox for thousands of music tracks - all in one. The compression of audio files has been a matter of interest long before the days of Napster and similar companies. Nowadays, most users know about the advantages of MP3 as one of the most popular audio compression formats: it reduces the size of an audio title to 1/11 of its original size. Terra Tec's C.A.R. 4000 now enables you to use all of the advantages of the MP3 format, in combination with your Hi-Fi equipment. C.A.R. 4000 is able to record all audio signals coming from the audio inputs of your computer and other audio equipment, and save them to the pre-installed hard disk drive. No matter if it is a tape recorder, a tuner or a microphone, C.A.R. 4000 will digitize and save them all. The C.A.R. 4000 brings together some of the most desirable features. You can record your audio-CD tracks to the built-in hard disk drive (at least 540 hours in CD quality) or use the digital selection function. The extensive CDDB support allows automatic detection of artist, title and album for indexing your music (without the need for an Internet connection). The graphic display offers easy control for convenient browsing through your favorite audio tracks. You can magnify the display while playing your music to be able to read the information from across the room in the comfort of your armchair. You can choose the format of your saved audio file a compressed MP3 file, or an uncompressed full-quality WAV format. The choice is yours. To further enhance the variety of audio sources you can use, a digital input for minidisk users is also included. Furthermore, in addition to the usual stereo line output it has been also integrated a microphone amplifier connection, an optical digital output and a configurable headphone output. Friends of mobile MP3 will also benefit from the insertion for MMC memory cards. If you want to go jogging you can use it as a gas station for your portable player and refill your memory card. After having finished the recording, you can use the remote control functions to enter information such as the artist, album and track title - just like composing an SMS message from your mobile phone. The integrated title database is a real feature of the product. As well as creating all kinds of playback selection filters, you can also evaluate any, or all, tracks using a 'personal preference' scale from +2 (really cool) to -2 (oh no, not again!). Using the remote control you can put together your personal music charts - your own Top 100. For an easy update of your hit list, you can use the bundled Windows application to communicate with your C.A.R. 4000 from your PC. The C.A.R. 4000 can also play, for example, ordinary audio CDs, or data CDs containing MP3 tracks. Even Winamp playlists (M3U) can be read, played and extended. Other features include an extensive timer function for recording and playing, automatic signal detection (ASD) for recordings (automatically starts recording when an audio input is detected), PartyLock password protection against prohibited use, a configurable interface (normal, advanced and professional settings) and individual saving and editing of almost all settings. The C.A.R. 4000 offers all the functions you would expect from an up-to-date Hi-Fi device, including high-quality compression and a complete jukebox functionality.
