Audio; Recording - NEC VERSA LX Manual

Audio

The NEC Versa provides entertainment-level sound quality through
internal stereo speakers. It handles MIDI files, digital audio files, and
analog audio sources. This means the NEC Versa recognizes .WAV,
.MID, and .AVI files. The system is 3D-stereo, Sound Blaster PRO™
compatible.

Recording

All information on a computer must be stored in digital form. Analog
audio signals from sources such as tape cassettes or music CDs must be
digitized before being recorded and stored on disk.
You can make recordings from two classes of audio input: line level and
microphone level. Line level accepts analog audio signals from
electronic sources such as tape cassettes, VCRs, and CD players through
the Line-In port. Microphone level inputs come through the microphone
port.

headphones port.)

NEC Versa. (You can also use the microphone port to record
monaural sound.)
