Guest Anonymous Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 connect the output (line out, or headphone jack) of the radio, to the input (line in) of the recorder. maybe you need a $4 cable from radio shack to do this.

Guest Anonymous Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 The cable you'll likely need is a dual-RCA to 3.5mm "Y-cable." Make sure your recording levels are appropriate before you make the actual recording - too quiet and your recording will be quiet and/or muffled; too loud and there will be bad distortion.

Bazirker Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 I believe the MZ-R500 has automatic volume levelling from the line-in, so to get the levels right just either use a line-out from your radio (if it has one) or turn the volume on it up all the way and turn any kind of bass boost or DSP off. As NRen2k5 said, if the recording is distorted, it's because the signal was too high...if that's the case, just slightly turn down the volume of your device's output. You'll probably want to do a short trial recording before you actually do your real recording just to make sure you're getting everything right.
