Could anyone help me I have just bought DC-art32 but I am unable to record. I have not got an expensive stereo system, so i have to use the headphone from the stereo to the input on the computer at first this was working ok but for some reason it has packed in. So I hope that some one out there can help me. I am also new to computers so any help would be appreciated. Thank you David C

Re: Problems recording
The headphone output signal usually comes from the power amplifier of a stereo with a resistor wired in series with same. So, it forms a voltage divider with the headphones. Since the headphones are relative low impedance, the voltage actually applied to the headphones is very low. But a sound card input is high impedance so it is theoretically possible to do damage to a sound card using this output if the stereo output level is turned up too high. So, be very careful here!

Re: Problems recording
David, when you say "packed in" I assume you mean suddenly you can't get a recording signal from the headphone output, right?
