Line-in (IN) Jack
The IN jack allows you to connect audio equipment for audio input
to the AMM-1570/1572. Typical equipment includes stereo receiv-
ers, amplifiers, tape decks, and CD players. Use an RCA-to-stereo
miniphone cable to plug your equipment to the
IN jack.
Note: Audio input from a CD-ROM drive to the
AMM-1570/1572 is accomplished by connecting a sepa-
rate audio cable (provided by the CD-ROM drive manu-
facturer) from the Line-level Output (Audio Out)
connector on the drive to the CD Audio Input connector
(J4) on the AMM-1570/1572.
Since the Line-level Output is a nonstandard connector
and can vary depending on the CD-ROM manufacturer,
the type of audio cable used can also vary. Refer to the
CD-ROM drive documentation for information on con-
necting your drive to the CD-Audio Input on sound
cards such as the AMM-1570/1572. To have a custom-
ized cable made, pinouts for connector J4 on the
AMM-1570/1572 are described in Appendix A, Specifica-
tions.
Microphone (MIC) Jack
The MIC jack allows you to connect any standard microphone with a
miniphone plug.
Joystick/MIDI Port
The Joystick/MIDI port on the AMM-1570/1572 is identical to that
on a standard PC game control adapter or game port. Any standard
PC joystick (i.e., an analog joystick with a 15-pin D-subconnector)
can be connected to the Joystick/MIDI port.
The Joystick/MIDI port also provides access to the Musical Instru-
ment Digital Interface (MIDI). MIDI is a serial bus, digital interface
that allows you to connect electronic musical devices, such as key-
boards and synthesizers to your computer.
In order to use the AMM-1570/1572 for MIDI recording, you must
first obtain a MIDI adapter and MIDI software. The MIDI adapter
plugs into the Joystick/MIDI port. Typically the MIDI adapter also
includes a separate joystick port that allows you to have both MIDI
and joystick capabilities at the same time. For more information on
