zAutomatic conversion of digital sampling rates during recording

A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate of your MD deck. This allows you to record sources such as 32- and 48- kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as compact discs and other MDs.

Notes

•If “Din Unlock” or “Cannot Copy” appears in the display, recording through the digital connector is not possible. In this case, record the program source through the LINE (ANALOG) IN jacks with INPUT set to ANALOG.

•When recording through the DIGITAL IN connector, you cannot adjust the recording level.
