connect the “Audio Output” RCA” on the VCR or camcorder to the Audio LineIn jack
on the WinTV USB.

adapters can be found at most Radio Shack stores.

plug the other end of the Audio Cable into your soundcard’s LineIn

the PC. They are: Microphone Input, Audio Output and Line
Input. The Audio Output would go to your speakers, while the

LineIn stamped into the metal bracket on the outside of your PC. This
is where you would plug your Audio Cable, Also Some Laptops do not

Mic input on the Laptop, or to a seperate set of powered speakers.

Once the audio cable is connected to your Sound Card, the WinTV application
can change the audio volume coming from the WinTV USB by adjusting the
LineInput sound volume of the Volume Control program in Windows.
