Using Photon LP with Your Computer
Recording
To record music to your computer, you can use EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter. EZ Vinyl/Tape
Converter conveniently saves your recordings to your computer. After you finish converting
your vinyl, you can then burn to CD or load onto portable media devices.
Use the included software download card to download and install the software, and follow the
on-screen instructions. See
starting to record.
To record music to your computer:
1. With EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter installed on your computer, use the included USB cable to
connect Photon LP's USB port to an available USB port on your computer.
2. On your computer, you can open EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter by going to Start Menu > All
Programs (Windows) or the Applications menu (Mac OS X).
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your recording. When prompted to play your
music, move Photon LP's tonearm over the record to start playback.
Note: To listen to a record while it's playing, listen through your computer's speakers, or
connect Photon LP's RCA outputs to a stereo system or powered speakers. Do not
connect them to phono-level inputs; Photon LP's RCA outputs are line-level and could
damage a device with phono-level inputs.
4. When you have finished recording, raise Photon LP's tonearm from the record and return
it to its arm clip.
