button, you can pause the recording by
clicking the same function button (now
labelled Pause), or stop the recording
by clicking on the STOP
button.
* You should try some test recordings before deciding on which recording level gives the
best sound quality. Don’t be tricked by the volume of the headphones which can be
adjusted independently with the UP and DOWN buttons.
Microphone
The built-in microphone is located on the top of the AV400 unit. Make
sure that you have selected Microphone as the input source in the pre-
recording Settings screen.
Analog Line-In
You can record from any line-level audio source to the AV400. Make
sure that you select the Analog Line-In as the input source in the pre-
recording Setup screen. If you have the TV cradle unit, you can plug the
Red and White connectors of the AV In cables to the output of you home
stereo system or the audio device you are recording from. If you have the
optional multi-connect adapter plug, you can enter a stereo audio signal
into the AV400 directly. Be careful that the source audio is supplying a line
level and not an amplified signal (turning down the volume on the player
will work if you are using the headphone out signal of your audio device).
An amplified signal will make for a terribly distorted recording. You can
also use a high quality pre-amplified microphone, such as the one Archos
sells as an option.
