SOUND RECORDING
Sound recording and playback is provided by Windows
TM
using a Media Control
Interface (MCI) driver for a sound card (eg Creative Labs Sound Blaster
TM
2.0).
AOR Searchlight uses MCI to provide the sound log facility, so you must have a suitable sound
card (recognised by Windows
TM
) installed for it to work.
AOR Searchlight does not work with the Microsoft
®
speaker driver; you must have a
Windows
TM
supported sound card installed!
The picture above illustrates that you simply need to connect your radio to the line input
of your sound card to record audio. A 3.5 mm plug and screened cable can be used to transfer the
audio signal from the headphones socket on the front panel of the radio to the sound card. You
will then need to set the volume knob to between 8 o’clock and 12 o’clock to adjust the audio to
the right level (some experimentation may be required).
A suitable Windows
TM
MCI driver will be provided with the sound card you buy. You
should install your sound card according to the instructions that come with it. AOR Searchlight
has no special requirements, but you should test the sound card to make sure it is working in your
system before using it with this program.
