•when you record from some CD players or multi disc players using digital (optical) input.

•when the source is in shuffle or program play mode while recording using digital (optical) input. In this case, play the source in normal play mode.

•when programs with audio that is digitally broadcast (e.g., digital TV) are recorded through the digital (optical) input.
