<No button will work while “WAITING” is displayed. Wait a few seconds until “WAITING” disappears from the display. When DIGITAL is selected in step 2 , the sampling frequency of the digital source (“FS 44_1K”, “FS 48K” or “ FS 32K”) briefly appears after “WAITING”.

<“DIN UNLOCK” appears when the unit cannot perceive the digital signal. In that case, connect a digital device to the DIGITAL IN terminal, switch it on, and wait a few seconds until the unit enters record pause mode.

<You cannot record if “MONITOR” appears on the display. In that case, reload a recordable disc, wait a few seconds until NO TOC and “CD-R” (or “CD-RW”) indicators light on the display, and press the RECORD button again.

5If necessary, adjust the recording level using the REC LEVEL buttons.

Play the source to be recorded and adjust the recording level so that the loudest sound does not exceed the “OVER” indicator on the peak level meter.

The level can be adjusted from –∞, –60 dB to +18 dB.

<Unlike analog equipment, digital audio units produce extremely unpleasant sounds when distorted, and there is no “headroom” after the 0 mark. When you record digitally from a commercially-produced CD, set the digital volume to 0 dB. This will maintain all the dynamic range of the source CD without clipping. Only boost the signal if the source is exceptionally quiet.

When the POWER button or the OPEN/CLOSE button is pressed, the recording level is reset to 0 dB.
