The following procedure describes how to use the Sound Recorder in the
Microsoft Windows Accessories group to record sound into a file on the
NEC Versa Note. (For details, see the online help that is available when
you open the Sound Recorder.)

1.
Accessories, Entertainment, Multimedia, and the Sound Recorder
line. Release your finger from the VersaGlide to open the recorder.
(You may have to press the left selector button on the VersaGlide.)

When you finish recording, press the Stop button. Be careful when
recording; audio files can become quite large.

Line-In

Analog signals come in through the NEC Versa Note's Line-In port. The
analog signals are converted into digital bits and bytes (digitized)
through a converter known as an ADC (analog-to-digital converter). The
resulting digital sound bytes can be stored, edited, processed, and
transferred. You can record ambient sound effects, specific sound
effects, or music to enhance a presentation.
Ambient sound effects create a sense of place or environment and include
sounds such as rain, heavy traffic, chirping birds. Specific sound effects
accent or illustrate an action. Examples of specific sound effects include
footsteps, a crash, and a clock chime. There are many sources of
prerecorded sound effects available on the market, or, you can record
your own sounds.
Line-In accepts analog signals from external devices such as a tape deck,
a stereo CD-player, or a stereo tuner. The Line-In port has a mini-type
connector. You may need an adapter to connect your input device to the
NEC Versa Note through Line-In.
