ION Audio LP2CD Data Sheet

 

 

 

 

 

My recordings sound loud 
and distorted. 

Recording level was too loud. 

I can barely hear the 
recorded audio when I play it 
back. 

Recording level was too soft. 

It is important to carefully set your recording level prior to 
recording.  When you first press [RECORD] to enter Rec 
Ready Mode, please check the level metering on the 
display.  Use the RECORD LEVEL knob to adjust the 
level.  At the loudest moments of the music, the meters 
should hit the (-4) or (-2) mark but should not reach 
(MAX).  If the level of the audio signal is too “hot”, you 
will see (!) flash on the right side of the display.   

My records are playing at an 
unusual pitch. 

RPM switch not set correctly. 

Please set the RPM switch as appropriate for the record 
you wish to play (33/45/78). 

I don’t hear anything when I 
try to play or record audio 
from my vinyl records. 

PHONO / LINE switch set to 
Line, instead of Phono. 

Set the PHONO / LINE switch to Phono to play and 
record audio from the turntable. 

I don’t hear anything when I 
try to play or record external 
sources connected to the 
Line In. 

PHONO / LINE switch set to 
Phono, instead of Line. 

Set the PHONO / LINE switch to Line to hear and record 
audio from the external sources connected to the Line 
In. 

Erase tracks from Internal Flash Player  which may have 
already been burnt to a previous disc.  In general, we 
recommend that you erase the player contents after 
each successful burn. 

I get a “Not enough space on 
blank CDR” message.   

Internal Flash Player 
contents exceed the 
maximum capacity of the CD-
R you are attempting to burn. 

Try a higher capacity Audio CD-R.  If using a 74min 
Audio CD-R, please try an 80min Audio CD-R.  

I get a “Too many tracks in 
Flash to REC” message. 

Erase tracks from the Internal Flash Player to free up 
space. 

I get a “Can’t Record Flash is 
Full” message. 

Internal Flash Player is filled 
to capacity. 

Burn Internal Flash Player contents to Audio CD-R, then 
erase all tracks. 

I can’t hear my record 
playing. 

LP 2 CD is already playing 
audio from CD or from the 
Internal Flash Player. 

Press the [STOP] button to ensure that the unit is not 
actively playing back or pausing a song. 

Cartridge connection is not 
secure. 

Cartridge must be securely connected to the tonearm 
whenever you are using the turntable. 

I am experiencing poor sound 
quality.   

Vinyl record is dirty or 
scratched. 

Try dusting off and gently wiping the surface of the 
record before playing it. 

Enable Auto Split in the Menu options and try again.  
See “Internal Flash Player Menu Options” section for 
details. 

My recording came out as 
one continuous, long track, 
instead of individual tracks. 

Auto Split menu option was 
disabled. 

Use the [SPLIT TRK] to manually split your recordings 
into individual tracks.  See “Splitting Tracks in the 
Internal Flash Player” section for details.
