RECORDING FROM AN ANALOG OR DIGITAL INPUT

Using the line-in connectors on the back of your VIA!dj you can make recordings from sources such as Minidisc, vinyl record and cassette. Before beginning a new recording make sure that the device you wish to record from is connected to one of the following inputs:

Digital Optical input

Digital Coaxial input

Analog input

For more information on these connectors see the Rear Panel Diagram on p.8.

To create a new line-in recording session

From the Main Menu highlight Line-In, then press

Select.

A series of screens allows you to set up the new recording.

LINE-IN SOURCE

The Line-in Source menu lets you specify which input connector to use for the new recording:

Select the input your device is connected to, then press

Select.

MONITOR OUTPUT

The Monitor Output menu allows you to select which output you would like to use to listen to the line-in recording:

• Highlight an output then press Select.

Note: Any music currently playing on this output will continue to play but will no longer be audible while the Line-In Record screen is visible. The None option allows you to make a line-in recording without interrupting play- back on any output.

SOUND QUALITY

The Sound Quality menu allows you to specify the recording quality:

Choose between Maximum (no compression used) or one of the MP3 compression options.

Note: The higher quality options use more space on your VIA!dj Hard Disk.

In each case the display shows the total remaining recording time available at the specified recording quality.

• Press the Select key to confirm your selection.
