record sounds.

To attach the phono-plug adapter, follow these steps:

1.Connect the audio-out cable from your audio source to the phono-plug

adapter.

If your audio source does not come with an audio-out cable, you can obtain

one at an electronics store.

If you are connecting the phono-plug adapter to a stereo audio source (which

means you have two cables coming in), either plug can go into either

connector on the phono-plug adapter. Because the computer records in mono,

mixing both channels into one sound, it doesn't matter which plug goes where.

2.Connect the phono-plug adapter to the sound input port on the back panel of

your computer.

!! WARNING: Be careful not to plug any sound output devices (such as a pair

of headphones) into the sound input port. Doing so may damage your audio

equipment. !!

instructions you see on the screen. They will tell you how to use the tour

and how to quit the tour when you have finished it. Return to this page and
