USING iLP WITH YOUR COMPUTER
RECORDING
To record music to your computer, you can use ION EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter. EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter
conveniently saves your recordings in your iTunes
burn to CD or load onto portable media devices.
To install the software, insert the included CD into your computer, and follow the on-screen instructions.
1. Make sure an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) is not connected to iLP's dock.
2. With EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter installed on your computer, use the included USB cable to connect iLP's
USB port to an available USB port on your computer.
3. Connect iLP to a power outlet and turn it on.
4. On your computer, you can open EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter by going to Start Menu  All Programs
(Windows) or the Applications menu (Mac).
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your recording. When prompted to play your music, move
iLP's tonearm over the record to start playback.
Note: To listen to a record while it's playing, listen through your computer's speakers, or connect iLP's
RCA outputs to a stereo system or powered speakers. Do not connect them to phono-level inputs; iLP's
RCA outputs are line-level and could damage a device with phono-level inputs.
6. When you have finished recording, raise iLP's tonearm from the record and return it to its arm clip.
