Question Screen

To record from your Hi-fi unit, you can use the included audio cable*. Plug one end into the Ondio’s Line-in jack. This is the jack on the top of the Ondio on the right. Plug the other end of the cable into the Line-out jacks (Left and Right) from your Hi-fi unit, Cassette deck, CD player, or VCR. Next, return to

the Main menu (by clicking on the Mode button) and then select the Recorder mode by clicking on

the down button .

You will see a screen as that on the left. Before recording, check for a good recording level by playing the sound to be recorded from the Hi-fi unit while watching the left and right record level indicators on the screen. Use the Left and Right buttons to decrease and increase the recording sensitivity. The bars should go up to the very end of the scale without causing the final bar to flash a ! mark. If you see the ! mark, this means you are overdriving the input and you need to reduce the sensitivity a little bit.

To change the default file name Rec xx where xx is the next consecutive recording number, you can press and hold down on the mode button. This will go to the QUESTION screen and ask you if you would like to change the file name. You can also press and hold the Mode button to change the bit rate and sample rate of the recording.

Now that your recording level and parameters are all set, double-click on the Power button to start the recording. If you need to pause, click once on the Mode button . To recommence from the pause, click on the Right button . To stop the recording, click the Mode button once to pause the recording, and then click the Mode button a second time to definitively stop it. The recording is now saved as an MP3 file.

*The included audio cable connects to your Hi-fi unit via two (left and right) RCA type connectors. If you would like to record from a device which has only a headphone jack, such as a portable radio or boombox, you will need to purchase an audio cable which have the male stereo 3.5mm jacks on BOTH ends.
