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.
