Recording Audio to Your Lyra Recorder
Recording from Your Audio Receiver
You can record audio from an audio/video component, such as an audio receiver, using the supplied Line In cable if the
component has audio output jacks.
Notes:
You might want to change the Audio Record Quality setting in the Setup menu (go to Chapter 3)
if you want to record at a lower quality to take up less space, or to record at a higher quality for better
sound. The default record quality is 128 k (high quality- mp3 audio).
The fi le size limit when recording is 2GB, so if your fi le is larger than that, it will be split into multiple
fi les.
1.
Make sure your Lyra Recorder is off.
2.
Connect the 3.5mm mini-plug end of the cable to the LINE IN jack on your Lyra Recorder player.
3.
Connect the red (audio right) and white (audio left) cables to the corresponding right and left audio out jacks on your
audio receiver. (The yellow plug will not be used for this connection).
4.
Turn on the power to your audio system, and select the mode you’re recording from (for example, if you want to
record a CD, make sure the stereo is in CD mode).
5.
Turn on your Lyra Recorder.
6.
Press the RECORD button on the top of the Lyra Recorder when you’re ready to record
(the Recording Mode screen appears). Select the type of recording you want.
7.
Then, press PLAY on the audio receiver.
8.
Press SELECT to begin recording. Once recording begins, the record screen appears
with status and elapsed time, recording quality, and the fi le name shown.
9. When you’re fi nished recording, press STOP.
10. To rename the fi le, go to
Using the On-Screen Keyboard
on page 51 for information.
If your stereo doesn’t have Audio Out jacks, you can record from the headphone jack using a
headphone to mini-Line In cable.
1.
Make sure your Lyra Recorder is off.
2.
Connect the smaller end of the cable (mini-Line In) to the LINE IN jack on your Lyra
Recorder.
3.
Connect the headphone end to the headphone jack on your stereo system. Follow steps
4-8 above.
Tip:
You can also use the remote to
control many of the record options.
