|---|---|
 | 15-foot RCA cable. Insert the plugs from one end of the cable into the left (L) and right (R) ports on the Audio Capture USB box and insert the other end into the Audio Out ports on your stereo receiver. Be sure to match the white plugs to the white ports and the red plugs to the red ports. |
 | Roxio Audio Capture USB box. This conversion box allows the analog signal coming from your stereo to be fed into a USB port on your computer. |
 | USB Cable. Plug the flatter, rectangular end (A) into a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port on your computer, and plug the other end (B) into the Audio Capture USB box. |
 | Mini-jack to RCA adapter. Use this cable if your audio equipment does not have RCA ports. Plug the mini-jack (A) into the headphone jack on your tape player or other audio device and the plugs on other end (B) into the 15-foot RCA cable. Be sure to match the red and white plugs. |
 | RCA cable connector. Use this connector to link a turntable directly to the 15-foot RCA cable. (The turntable must have a preamplifier.) |
Follow these steps to connect a turntable or tape player to your computer. The illustration below shows a typical setup:
1 Connect one end of the provided 15-foot RCA cable to the audio-in ports of the Roxio Audio Capture USB device. The ports are labeled with the letters L (left) and R (right). Connect the other end of the RCA cable to the audio-out ports on your stereo or preamplifier. Do not connect directly to a turntable unless the turntable includes a pre-amplifier.
If your stereo does not have RCA connectors, we have provided a mini-jack to RCA adaptor.
2 Connect one end of the provided USB cable to the Roxio Audio Capture USB device and the other end to a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port on your computer.
Note: 
Do not connect the Roxio Audio Capture USB device directly to a turntable or tape player unless the turntable or tape player has a built-in preamplifier.
