With the Gmini™ 402 series, you do not need a computer to create digital

music ﬁ les. 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).

5.1 Cable Connections for Audio Recording

Plug the multi-connect adapter into the Gmini™ 402 and then plug the

included AV cable into the side marked Line-In as shown here. Connect

the Red (Right) and White (Left) connectors to the audio output of your

Hiﬁ or other audio device that you are recording from. Do not plug the

yellow connector to anything.
