zVarious ways of recording
Two ways of connecting to a sound source
The input jack of this recorder works as both digital and analog input jacks. Connect the recorder to a CD player or a cassette recorder using either digital input or analog input. To record, see “Recording with digital input” (page 11) to record using digital input, and “Recording an MD right away!” (page 6) to record using analog input.

Note
Track marks may be copied incorrectly :
•when you record from some CD players or multi disc players using digital input.
•when the source is in shuffle or program play mode while recording using digital input. In this case, play the source in normal play mode.
•when recording BS or CS programs through digital input.
