[. . . ] PC USERS MANUAL MD-PortTM I/O PC users manual · Windows 98 · Windows 2000 · Windows ME · Windows XP 1 Getting started There are 3 simple steps to using your MD-Port I/O. Please read through the following carefully as it contains detailed instructions. The 3 steps that you will be guided through take the following general form: Step 1: Runs through plugging the MD-Port I/O into your computer, automatically installing the necessary drivers, and loading the included software on your system. Step 2: Runs through connecting your MD-Port I/O to your MiniDisc or NetMD recorder and recording music from your computer. [. . . ] Now plug the supplied 3. 5mm to 3. 5mm cable into the headphone output on your MiniDisc recorder and the other end into a 3. 5mm socket on the stereo splitter ­ it doesn't matter which one. You can now plug a set of headphones into the other jack on the stereo splitter to monitor your recording. In the Filename field, type in the name of the new wav file you're about to record. Make sure a check does not appear next to the Mute button. Make sure a check appears next to the Auto Stop option. With this setting, your computer will automatically stop recording once it detects your MD recorder has stopped. Also make sure that a check appears next to the option Auto Level. Set the drop down menu that appears below these selections to Line. Set the output volume on your MiniDisc recorder to approx 3/4 of it's maximum level. Having your MiniDisc recorder volume up too high will cause distortion in your recordings. 8 9 8. LPRecorder has a leveling function that automatically sets the recording levels. In order to set the right levels, hit play on your MiniDisc recorder. In the Level section of LPRecorder you should notice the level indicators responding to the incoming signal. If the green bars go into the red and the Volume slider rapidly decreases, turn down the volume on your MiniDisc recorder and set the Volume slider in LPRecorder to maximum so that it starts adjusting the levels again. You will need to adjust the volume on your MiniDisc Recorder so that the Volume slider in LPRecorder decreases at a slow rate as it finetunes the level of the incoming signal. When the Volume slider stops moving, you'll be ready to record. Optimally the Volume slider should be between 100 and 80 ­ if the Volume slider decreases below 80, turn down the volume on your MiniDisc recorder and increase the Volume slider in LPRecorder to maximum so that it starts automatically setting the levels again. 9. Once the levels have been set, you're ready to record. Stop your MD recorder and rewind it to the first track you want to start recording from. Hit the record button in LPRecorder and then the play button on your MiniDisc recorder. Your audio will now be recorded as a wav file onto your hard drive. To get the best results, you should not use your computer for any other tasks while recording. Note: With the Auto Stop feature, it is important to start LPRecorder before you start your MiniDisc. If you start your MiniDisc first and LPRecorder second, LPRecorder may prematurely stop recording in a quiet passage.
