Cd-Rom Input; Microphone; Playing Back - NEC VERSA SX User Manual

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, a docking station, 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 through Line-In.

CD-ROM Input

You can record music and sound effects from a CD (compact disc) and
store them on your hard disk. The audio signal from the CD-ROM reader
connects directly to your NEC Versa. Simply follow the instructions in
"Recording" to record sound from your CD player.

Microphone

You can capture and record sounds through the internal microphone on
the NEC Versa or through an external microphone that connects to the
system through the microphone port. You can record voice-overs for
narration, reminders, or special instructions.
See "Recording," explained earlier in this chapter, for details about
recording sound with the microphone. Although the example given
shows how to record sound from a tape, the procedure is the same for
recording with a microphone.

Playing Back

You can play back your recorded soundtrack through stereo headphones,
the internal NEC Versa stereo speakers, or external stereo speakers. You
can play .WAV and MIDI files as well as CD audio. Adjust the volume
through the software or with the volume control knob on the left side of
the system.
