To connect the audio from your VCR or camcorder, use an 1/8” stereo minijack exten-
sion cable (1/8” male minijacks on one end, and RCA onthe other end) and connect
the “Audio Output” RCA” on the VCR or camcorder to the Audio Line In jack on
the WinTV USB.

ote:. If you need a female RCA to 1/8” minijack adapter, these
adapters can be found at most Radio Shack stores.
Connecting the WinTV-USB to a Sound Card
The board's audio output should be connected to a sound card using the supplied
Audio Cable:
- plug one end of the Audio Cable into the jack marked LineOut (Audio Line
Out jack J4) on the USB unit
- plug the other end of the Audio Cable into your soundcard’s LineIn jack.
N
ote: Most sound cards have three round jacks on the outside of
the PC. They are: Microphone Input, Audio Output and Line
Input. The Audio Output would go to your speakers, while the
Microphone input might go to a microphone (if you are using one). The
LineIn jack is normally indicated on the sound card by the words IN or
LineIn stamped into the metal bracket on the outside of your PC. This
is where you would plug your Audio Cable, Also Some Laptops do not
have a Line in and you would have to connect the USB device to the
Mic input on the Laptop, or to a seperate set of powered speakers.
Adjusting the Audio Volume
Once the audio cable is connected to your Sound Card, the WinTV application can
change the audio volume coming from the WinTV USB by adjusting the LineInput
sound volume of the VolumeControl program in Windows.
The VolumeControl program is normally installed with Windows or by the sound
card installation program, and allows the control of volume from the various sound
sources. If you cannot hear sound when running the application, you might need to
check the volume level of LineInput in VolumeControl.
