Line-In
Analog signals come in through the NEC Versa 6000’s Line-In port. The
analog signals are converted into digital bits and bytes (digitized) through a
converter known as an ADC (analog-to-digital converter). The resulting
digital sound bytes can be stored, edited, processed, and transferred. You
can record ambient sound effects, specific sound effects, or music to en-
hance a presentation.
Ambient sound effects create a sense of place or environment and include
sounds such as rain, heavy traffic, chirping birds. Specific sound effects accent
or illustrate an action. Examples of specific sound effects include foot-
steps, a crash, a clock chime. There are many sources of prerecorded sound ef-
fects available on the market, or, you can record your own sounds.
Line-In accepts analog signals from external devices such as a tape deck, a
stereo CD-player, a docking station, or a stereo tuner. The Line-In port has
a mini-type connector. You may need an adapter to connect your input de-
vice to the NEC Versa 6000 through Line-In.
NOTE
Using Line-In does not disable the internal speakers.
CD-ROM Input
You can record music and sound effects from a CD (compact disc) and store
them on your hard disk. The audio signal from a CD-ROM reader, such as
the NEC MultiSpin™, CD-ROM connects directly to your NEC Versa
