IMPORTANT NOTES
Listening and exporting to MP3
To listen to your digitized audio, you will need a third party application that can play wave files. You can also
use any standard audio CD burning software to burn your wave files to an audio CD.
If you would like to save your vinyl recordings as MP3 files after recording them using AUDACITY, you will
need to install the optional "LAME MP3 ENCODER" plug-in to the software provided on the CD. Once a file is
in MP3 format it can be played on any MP3 compatible mobile digital device.
LINE OUT Connection
You can connect this unit to your external Hi-Fi / AMPLIFIER system by connecting the LINE OUT socket
(14) to the auxiliary input socket of your Hi-Fi / AMPLIFIER system with a RCA cable (not included).
NOTE:
The
Volume control will not function when using the LINE OUT.
