DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER
7.2 Recording from an External Electronic Audio Source
To record to the Digital Voice Recorder from an
external audio source device such as a radio, CD player,
home stereo system, etc., take these steps (refer to the
device’s own manual for information about its I/O ports
and user controls and how to operate the device):
1. Turn off both the Recorder and the source device.
Lower the volume on the source device down to its
lowest setting, so that you don’t get a distorted
recording. (Depending on the source device, you
might be able to increase its volume level above
this, but you’ll need to test to find the best level.)
2. Get an audio cable with a 3.5-mm mini mono
audio plug on the Recorder end and an
appropriate plug or adapter on the device end.
(You can use the included audio cable if the
source device also has a 3.5-mm jack.) Run this
cable from the device’s “auxiliary out” port to the
external microphone jack on top of the Recorder,
as shown in Figure 7-2 at the end of this section.
