Connecting the deck to an amplifier

Connect the amplifier to the LINE (ANALOG) IN/OUT jacks using the audio connecting cords (supplied), making sure to match the color-coded cords to the appropriate jacks on the components: red (right) to red and white (left) to white. Be sure to make connections firmly to prevent hum and noise.

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.

Connecting the AC power cord

Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet or to the outlet of a timer.
