13 MUSIC - Recording Music

With the AV400 series, you do not need a computer to create digital music ﬁles. It is capable of recording from the built-in microphone or an analog line source (ex: HiFi system, Boombox, CD Player, etc) into a standard Windows® WAV format, either PCM (uncompressed) or ADPCM (compressed).

13.1Cable Connections for Audio Recording

If you are using the Archos TV cradle, then you will have to plug the Red and White connectors of the AV IN cables to the output of your Hiﬁ or other audio device that you are recording from. If you are using the optional multi-connect adapter and AV cable, you should plug the AV cable into the AV IN side of the adapter, and then plug the adapter into the AV400. Now connect the Red and White connectors of the AV cable to the output of your Hiﬁ or other audio device that you are recording from.

13.2Recording Procedure

Before the actual audio recording begins, there is a pre-recording screen which will allow you to adjust your recording settings.

1.From the home screen, select Audio- Corder then click on ENTER/GO .

2.In the pre-recording screen, adjust the recording level* by clicking on the LEFT and RIGHT buttons. Click on the right function button to start recording. Attention, the ﬁrst time recording you should adjust your Settings.
