	Digitizing an analog source		Playback, editing on your PC
Application 1		Application 3

The LS-10 can be used to digitize analog sound sources such as LP records and music cassettes. Connect the LINE OUT jacks of the analog component (amplifier, radio-cassette, etc.) to the LINE IN jacks of the LS-10. A converter cable (commercially available) may be required when recording turntable sound through a mini-component system. When using an RCA (pin) jack converter cable, it is recommended to use a non-resistance type cable.

The LS-10 comes with CUBASE LE4 software, a multifunction DAW (Desktop Audio Workstation) application that enables you to edit and play back audio files recorded with the LS-10 on your computer. Editing functions include resizing, division, connection, deletion, fade-in and fade-out. There's also a normalization function that can be used to adjust the recording volume and various effects, enabling you to enjoy high-quality desktop music.

Application 2 Excellent playback functions

The LS-10 has built-in stereo speakers so that it can reproduce stereo audio without using other devices. The LS-10's ability to play MP3 and WMA format sound files downloaded from a computer and to apply built-in effects also makes it an ideal portable music player. In playback, you can use the Reverb mode to recreate the sound space of various different environments. Five options are available: NORMAL, STUDIO, CLUB, HALL, DOME. The LS-10 also incorporates EUPHONY MOBILE, which offers surround sound with natural expansion for long hours of fatigue-free listening. With a choice of 4 acoustical environment settings including Natural, Wide and Power, as well as Off, this function can dramatically enhance the presence of the sound being listened.

Application 4 CD creation on your PC

You can create original CDs from the recordings you've made with the LS-10. Whether it's your own original musical performances or found sounds such as bird songs, bubbling brooks, or roaring locomotives, burning your recordings to CD is a great way to preserve and share them. If you select the same recording mode used for CDs (44.1 kHz/16-bit) at the time of recording, you can create CDs directly without having to convert the data. Such CDs can be played back on any CD player. To create a CD, upload the recorded audio file to your computer by means of USB connection or an SD card, and burn a CD-R with "Windows Media Player" or "iTunes".

•A CD-R/RW drive is necessary for CD burning.
