Monitoring the audio
When the PCLink is connected to the computer via the 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 soundcard. 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.
Setting the proper recording level
The PCLink is capable of outputting a loud signal. To ensure you get 
the cleanest possible recording, follow these steps:
1
Before starting, make sure that both the PCLink volume sliders 
are set to a minimum. You can access the PCLink’s volume 
sliders by double clicking on the speaker icon at the bottom right 
hand side of the Windows task bar.
2
Plug the supplied headphones or your monitor speakers into your 
MiniDisc recorder’s headphone jack.
3
With the Line Cable, connect the PCLink to your MiniDisc 
recorder.
4
In your media player load the selection of audio files (WAV, 
MP3, etc.) to be recorded.
