fcbruno Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi Everyone,This is my first post - have had a browse of the forum, I'm a little bit confused and would genuinely appreciate any suggestions.I recently bought a Sony MZ-R900 from Ebay. I have a Canon XHA1 video camera, and an Apple iMac.Any idea how I get get the sound outputted from my Sony MZ-R900 onto my iMac please?I understand that a '3.5mm 1/8 Y adapter stereo mini plug to male RCA jack' might be required, but unfortunately neither my camera or iMac have these sockets available to receive the sound. Is there a special adaptor I might need do you think?Again, any suggestions whatsoever would be sincerely appreciated.All the bestPeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
