Connecting a sound source

To record an analog audio signal, connect a sound source to the [ANALOG INPUT] (bal- anced or unbalanced) connectors. To record a digital audio signal, connect a sound source to the [DIGITAL INPUT] connector.

<Note>: If you make connection to both the analog balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) input connectors, the unbalanced input takes priority and the balanced input is dis- abled.
