Monitoring The Audio; Setting The Proper Recording Level - Sony PCLink Operating Instructions Manual

Monitoring the audio

When the PCLink is connected to the computer via the USB cable,
Windows will automatically assign it as your system's preferred
audio device, therefore no sound will come out of your computer's
speakers or the speakers plugged into your soundcard. In order to
monitor the playback of the music file while you are recording, you
must connect the supplied headphones or your speakers to the
headphone jack of the MiniDisc recorder.

Setting the proper recording level

The PCLink is capable of outputting a loud signal. To ensure you get
the cleanest possible recording, follow these steps:
1
Before starting, make sure that both the PCLink volume sliders
are set to a minimum. You can access the PCLink's volume
sliders by double clicking on the speaker icon at the bottom right
hand side of the Windows task bar.
2
Plug the supplied headphones or your monitor speakers into your
MiniDisc recorder's headphone jack.
3
With the Line Cable, connect the PCLink to your MiniDisc
recorder.
4
In your media player load the selection of audio files (WAV,
MP3, etc.) to be recorded.
