zRegardless of the setting of the ANALOG INPUT switch, signals are transferred to both the UNBAL and BAL output terminals.

zIf you use the BALANCE output terminal (XLR type), you can use the OUTPUT LEVEL switch to switch the output level.

Output level

 

 

+4dBu

Signals having a metered level of –20 dB

 

are generated at a +4 dBu level.

 

 

–10dBu

Signals having a metered level of –20 dB

 

are generated at a –10 dBu level.

 

 

The BALANCE I/O connector specifications are as follows:

Input terminal XLR-3-31

Output terminal XLR-3-32

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 recorder.

This allows you to record sources such as 32 and

48 kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as compact discs and other MDs.

Connecting the AC power cord

Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet.
