Using Vinyl Motion With Your Computer
Recording
To record music to your computer, you can use ION EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter. EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter,
ionaudio.com/ezvc, 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.
To install the software, insert the included CD into your computer, and follow the on-screen instructions.
1. With EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter installed on your computer, use the included USB cable to connect Vinyl
Motion'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).
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your recording. When prompted to play your music, move
Vinyl Motion'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 Vinyl
Motion's RCA outputs to a stereo system or powered speakers. Do not connect them to phono-level
inputs; Vinyl Motion's RCA outputs are line-level and could damage a device with phono-level inputs.
4. When you have finished recording, raise Vinyl Motion's tonearm from the record and return it to its arm
clip.

Playback
There are 3 ways to listen to your vinyl records with Vinyl Motion:
1. You can simply listen to your music using Vinyl Motion's internal speakers.
2. If you prefer to use your own stereo speakers, you can connect Vinyl Motion's RCA outputs to a stereo
system or to powered speakers. Do not connect them to phono-level inputs; Vinyl Motion's RCA outputs
are line-level and could damage a device with phono-level inputs. (Any other standard input type, such as
CD, Aux In, or Tape is acceptable).
3. You can listen through your computer speakers or with headphones connected to your computer, once
your computer soundcard's input device has been set to USB PnP Audio Device or USB Audio Device,
depending on your Windows operating system (USB PnP Audio Device on Mac OS X) and that you are
record-monitoring the audio using EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter or similar software (Vinyl Motion cannot be
used as a playback device for your computer's audio.). See the section Setting Your Computer's
Soundcard as the Default Playback Device for details on how to configure sound playback.
