directly to your NEC Versa L320. Simply follow the instructions in “Recording” to
record sound from your CD player.
Microphone
You can capture and record sounds through the internal microphone on the NEC Versa
L320 or through an external microphone that connects to the system through the
microphone port. You can record voice-overs for narration, reminders, or special
instructions.
See “Recording” earlier in this chapter, for details about recording sound with the
microphone.
