Monitoring the audio
When the Digital PCLink is connected to the computer via USB cable, Windows will automatically assign it as your system’s preferred audio device, therefore no sound will come out of your computer’s speakers or the speakers plugged into your souncard. In order to monitor the playback of the music file while you are recording, you must connect the supplied headphones or your speakers to the headphone jack of the MiniDisc recorder.
WARNING: Do not at any stage place headphones on your ears without first checking that the volume controls are set to a minimum and slowly rased to a comfortable listening level.
Setting the proper recording level
The Digital PCLink is capable of outputting a loud signal. To ensure you get the cleanest possible recording please read through these instructions carefully and adjust the volume controls as directed:
1 Before starting, make sure that the Digital PCLink volume slider (Wave Volume) is set to a minimum. You can access the Digital PCLink’s volume sliders by double clicking on the speaker icon at the bottom right hand side of the Windows task bar.
