2.the source you want to copy is available in digital form either as the primary or extra input, and you want to make a digital recording. (See page ?? for setting up extra inputs).

Conditionally works OK

The following list shows the copy procedures that only work in some circumstances.

1.the source you want to copy is available in analogue form only, and you want to make a digital recording. This process only works if either:

∙the Copy source is also the main source selected by the Source key (in effect you are using Copy–System. Copy–Systemmeans ‘record what I am listening to’ – except of course Mute and Volume do not effect the recording!

∙the main listening Source is digital, freeing up the analogue–digital converter for the Copy process.

Never works OK

The following list shows the copy procedures that do not work as expected.

1.the source you want to copy is available in digital form only, and you want to make an analogue recording.

The standard 562 does not have any means to convert digital signals to analogue.

Overcoming copy difficulties to digital recorders

There is no ready solution to the fact that 562 only has one analogue– digital converter. We advise caution when making digital recordings from analogue sources. The simplest strategy is to listen to the recording on Source, and use Copy–System. See page ??.

Overcoming copy difficulties to analogue recorders

To obtain reliable copy functions for digital sources onto analogue recorders you have the following options:

1.If the digital source (e.g. CD, DCC, MD or Laser disc player) has both analogue and digital outputs, connect both. Use the digital connection as the main one and the analogue as an extra. See page ?? for details on setting up main and extra inputs.

2.If the digital source does not have both analogue and digital outputs (e.g. CD transport), use an external digital–to–analogue converter on the digital source to provide an extra analogue input.

3.If you have several digital-only sources, or the digital source supports only one output, then connect an external DAC. The digital signal to the DAC is taken from the DO2 digital tape output of 562. Connect the analogue output of the DAC to the DAC sockets on 562. Note: this option is not available if you have an internal DAC fitted.

4.Upgrade 562 to have the internal DAC option fitted. Consult your dealer.
