Audio
The NEC Versa provides entertainment-level sound quality through internal stereo
speakers or external headphones. 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 or internal microphone.
