Archos 400 user manual Where is the Recording Saved?

Microphone

The built-in microphone is located on the top of the Gmini 400 unit next to the headphone jack. Make sure that you have selected Microphone as the input source in the pre-recording Settings screen. The microphone recording level is preset.

Analog Line-In

You can record from any line-level audio source to the Gmini 400. Make sure that you select the Analog Line-Inas the input source in the pre- recording Setup screen. If you have the TV cradle unit, you can plug the Red and White connectors of the AV In cables to the output of you home stereo system or the audio device you are recording from. If you have the optional multi-connect adapter plug, you can enter a stereo audio signal into the AV400 directly. Be careful that the source audio is supplying a line level and not an amplified signal (turning down the volume on the player will work if you are using the headphone out signal of your audio device). An amplified signal will make for a terribly distorted recording. You can also use a high quality pre-amplified microphone, such as the one Archos sells as an option.

Incremental Recording

While recording, you will notice the center function button labeled Next. This allows you to create incremental recordings.

That is, the current recording stops and a new recording instantly begins. The next recording has an additional number appended to its name. Thus if you create multiple incremental recordings, you might, for example, have files names of REC0000_01, REC0000_02, etc. This is good for recording old cassettes and old vinyl records. You can click on the Next button during the blank space between each song. That way, each song of the vinyl disk or audio cassette will be one single audio file.

5.3Where is the Recording Saved?

The default location for audio recordings is the folder called Music. If you click on the Music icon in the main menu, you will go to this folder. Notice that the right function button is labeled Record. Each time you use this button to record audio instead of the AudioCorder button on the main menu, you set the recording default location to the current folder. For example, let’s say you have a folder called /Music/Voice/Lectures. If you go to this folder and then make a recording using the right function button
