require two 1.5 V batteries, AA type. Pay attention to
the correct polarity (+/–).

cient power to run the device. Insert batteries into
the device.

ment and turn the cassette over.

Problem Possible cause/solution
Why do I need the "Lame
MP3 encoder" and where do
I get it from?
You need the "Lame MP3 encoder" to save a recorded title
as an MP3 le.
Before you rst save a title as an MP3 le, you must rst
download this once from http://wiki.audacityteam.org/

chapter).

the Recorded Waveform
Display during the recording.

• Is the device connected correctly to the computer?
The sound quality of the
recorded title is not good.

the cassette recording. Is the quality of the original title
acceptable?
