Connect your Ion LP 2 CD to external speakers so that you can hear the music as it is being recorded to the internal flash player.
Press the "Menu" button on your machine. Select "Yes" when asked if you would like to switch to internal flash player mode. The LED next to "INT" will light up to show that you are in flash player mode.
Flip the "Phono/Line" switch to the "Phono" position.
Press the "Record" button on the turntable. The red LED below the button will blink to let you know that you are ready to record.
Place the needle on the record at the point where you would like to begin recording. Press the "Start/Stop" button on the turntable to preview the music and adjust the recording level as needed.
Turn the "Recording Level" knob to adjust it. Be sure that the indicator never reaches the maximum mark. Press "Start/Stop" to stop the turntable after you've adjusted the levels.
The LP 2 CD will automatically detect the silence between songs and create individual CD tracks using the "Auto Split" feature. This feature is enabled by default and can be controlled from the flash player menu screen.
Press the "Play" button to begin recording and immediately press "Start/Stop" on the turntable to start playback from the vinyl record. The LED will stay lit to indicate that you are now recording to the internal flash player. Press the "Pause" button when you need to flip the record. Press "Play" to resume recording.
Press "Start/Stop" once you have finished recording. The display will automatically return to the flash player screen.
Press the "Burn CD" button once you have checked to make sure that you are an internal flash player mode.
Insert a blank CD-R into the CD drive. The Ion will automatically begin burning the files. The disc will eject when the burning process is complete. Repeat the process for additional copies.
Test your CD in a standard CD player.
