zIf “Din Unlock” and “C71” alternate in the display

The optical cable is not connected properly. Check that the connections are secure.

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 this deck. This allows you to record sources such as 32- and 48- kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as compact discs and MDs.

Note

If “Din Unlock” or “Cannot Copy” flashes in the display, recording through the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN connector is not possible. In this case, record the program source through the ANALOG IN jacks with “ANALOG” selected by

INPUT.

Connecting the AC power cord

Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet.

Note

Do not connect the AC power cord to a switched outlet.

Connecting a PC (MXD-D40 only)

Use the PCLK-MN10A PC connecting kit (not supplied) to connect a PC to the deck. By connecting the deck to a PC, you will be able to select and play MD tracks and do various MD editing operations on the PC. For details, refer to the manual supplied with the PC connecting kit.

Demonstration mode

When you turn on the deck and there is no CD or MD in the deck, demonstration mode is activated automatically after about ten minutes. To deactivate the demonstration mode, press any button on the deck or on the remote.

zTo turn off the demonstration mode

Press pon the left of the front panel and CLEAR on the right of the front panel simultaneously.

Demonstration mode is turned off until you unplug the power cord of the deck and plug it in again.
