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.
